Rockies Express Stays Relevant No Matter the Market

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Last year, the Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) announced a plan to reverse a recently completed line and carry natural gas from the Marcellus/Utica Shale westward as far as Mexico, Missouri, very close to the Missouri-Illinois state border. The reversal would make the eastern end of the line between Clarington, Ohio and Mexico, Missouri (Zone 3) bidirectional, giving shippers the opportunity to reach not only local customers, but also more traditional markets such as the Gulf Coast or Southeast via interconnected pipelines. The west end of the pipeline is business-as-usual, providing takeaway capacity for Rockies shippers to the same markets, thus providing takeaway capacity from two separate regions with great need for access to customers.
