Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Ohio Department of Natural Resources recently reported that the state's second-quarter natural gas production increased more than 42% from the same period in 2017. Industrial Info is tracking more than $4.75 billion worth of active projects in Ohio's natural gas production, pipeline and terminal industries, more than $1.45 billion of which are currently slated to finish construction before the end of next year.

Much of the new development was attributed to advancements in drilling and completion techniques at wells across the state. The bulk of activity can be found in Ohio's southeastern quarter, where two companies are proposing a pair of expansions at natural gas-processing plants: Marathon Petroleum Corporation's (NYSE:MPC) (Findlay, Ohio) fourth train at its cryogenic processing and fractionation plant in Cadiz, and Marathon spinoff MPLX's (NYSE:MPLX) (Findlay) fourth train at its Hopedale Fractionation Complex in Jewett.
As currently envisioned, the Cadiz project would expand processing capacity from 525 million to 725 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas from the Utica Shale, while the Jewett project would add a 60,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) fractionator to bring the total plant capacity to 240,000 BBL/d of natural gas liquids (NGL). For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Cadiz and Jewett projects.
Also in southeastern Ohio, Mountaineer NGL Storage LLC (Littleton, Colorado) is seeking permits for a $300 million storage cavern complex near Clarington. The facility would include four caverns, each 6,300 to 6,700 feet underground, with a total capacity of 2 million barrels of NGL sourced from the Utica Shale. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Along with Pennsylvania and West Virginia, Ohio is considered the primary source of shale gas production growth in the Appalachian Basin, which covers the eastern half of the state. The Appalachian Basin is home to the Marcellus and Utica shale plays, which together accounted for about 29% of total production in July, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). For more information, see August 29, 2018, article - Industrial Info Tracks Billions of Dollars in Appalachian Basin Gas-Production Projects.
Pipeline projects also aboud in southeastern Ohio, including a slew of proposed projects from TransCanada Corporation's (NYSE:TRP) (Calgary, Alberta) subsidiary Columbia Gas Transmission LLC. The energy giant is planning to replace much of its aging infrastructure to accommodate the growth in natural gas production, and is seeking permits to overhaul its Buckeye XPress system, which includes a vital natural gas supply line in Ohio. Components within the state include the replacement of about 61 miles of older pipeline with about 66 miles of new line between Vinton and Jackson counties to increase capacity by 275 million standard cubic feet per day.
In addition to the replacement, TransCanada is proposing a pair of compressor station additions near Jackson County and Summerfield to accommodate the higher capacity. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the replacement project and the Jackson County and Summerfield stations.
TransCanada already is at work on a pair of projects for its B-System Pipeline: a $35 million replacement project that will cover 13.8 miles from Sugar Grove to Columbus, and a new, $18 million line that will run seven miles from an existing interconnect to a connection with the K-System line near Fairfield County. The new lines will carry up to 100 million standard cubic feet per day. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the replacement line and new line.
Ohio's top two gas-producing wells can be found in southeastern Belmont County, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, where Texas Eastern Transmission LP, a subsidiary of Enbridge Incorporated (NYSE:ENB) (Calgary, Alberta), is at work on an estimated $25 million unit addition at its compressor station in Colerain. The station is part of the Texas Eastern Appalachian Lease Project (TEAL), which is designed to transport up to 950 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas from Kensington to Monroe County, Ohio. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
