Rover at almost full service on 3.25-Bcf/d pipeline after FERC authorization
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted Rover Pipeline LLC permission to start service on some of the last pieces of its 511-mile natural gas pipeline project, which will deliver gas supplies from the Marcellus and Utica shales through the Midwest.
The authorization came after Rover's repeated requests for immediate service on the remaining pipeline portions, asking the commission to approve service by the morning of May 31, which would allow the Energy Transfer Partners LP subsidiary to meet contractual arrangements for service on June 1. If FERC had permitted service on the laterals, another 850 MMcf/d of incremental capacity would have been added to the project.
