To allow Dominion’s proposed Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast pipelines to have sufficient volume of gas will apparently require yet another, but shorter, half-billion dollar pipeline project to connect all that to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Northern West Virginia.
“Dominion Transmission, Inc. is proposing to construct and operate approximately 39 miles of natural gas pipeline and modify existing compression facilities in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The project, referred to as the Supply Header Project, will provide natural gas supplies to various customers, allowing the transport of natural gas from supply areas in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia to market areas in Virginia and North Carolina.”
“One of the main customers will be Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC — a joint venture composed of subsidiaries of Dominion Resources, Duke Energy, Piedmont Natural Gas and AGL Resources — which is proposing to construct the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina.
“New pipeline will primarily be constructed along existing pipeline rights of way and will include about four miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline in Westmoreland County, Pa., and 35 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline in Harrison, Doddridge, Tyler and Wetzel counties in West Virginia. The cost of the Supply Header Project will be about $500 million.
“Modifications and facility upgrades will be made at Dominion’s existing compressor stations in Westmoreland and Greene counties in Pennsylvania, and Marshall and Wetzel counties in West Virginia. These modifications will result in approximately 75,000 horsepower of additional compression.”
