New pipeline will help transport oil to county

ZANESVILLE – A new pipeline in Guernsey and Noble counties is slated to transport light oil condensate to points in the surrounding area, including Muskingum County, that will serve major customers in Utica Shale production.

The project is headed by Ohio River Valley Pipeline LLC, an affiliate of the EnLink Midstream companies.

The new pipeline project, including the compression and stabilization facilities, is scheduled for completion in Guernsey and Noble counties in the second half of this year. Open season for the pipeline, which is a process that allows pipeline operators to secure volume commitments from producers before a new pipeline goes into service, was just extended until Feb. 27, said Megan Wright, with Corporate Communications at EnLink Midstream.

The new pipeline will carry oil from the Utica Shale production in Noble and Guernsey counties and will connect to the existing Ohio River Valley pipeline that runs through the Black Run Station in Muskingum County, as well as to the Bells Run Station in Washington County, Wright said. No new construction will take place in Muskingum County, nor will any new wells be drilled in the county in connection with the project.

Muskingum County has one hydraulic fracturing well producing in Meigs Township and two others permitted in Meigs and Madison townships, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Guernsey County has 69 fracking wells, 26 of which are producing, and Noble County has 79 wells, 20 of which are producing, the department reported.

The Black Run Station is an existing crude oil station and rail terminal in northeastern Muskingum County and has been there since the 1920s, Wright said.

The pipeline construction will create about 150 to 200 direct jobs in eastern Ohio, Wright said, adding that EnLink is investing more than $250 million in the project. Just how much economic influence the project might have on Muskingum County and the surrounding counties hasn't yet been broken down.

More connecting facilities could be constructed in Coshocton, Holmes and Harrison counties if Ohio River Valley Pipeline extends the system, which is dependent on the level of interest shown by potential shippers during open season, Wright said.

The new pipeline will have an initial capacity of about 50,000 barrels per day and is expandable based on customer interest. Six natural gas compression and condensate stabilization facilities also will be constructed.

Excellent. I wonder if they will still be trucking in and out of the Grape Hollow gathering facility after this pipeline is completed.

The big tankers with the red trucks fly by the house, evidently they are not constrained by the Eclipse 15 mph speed restriction.

Anyhoo, anything that lessons the traffic by my house will make it easier to sell.

Thanks Philip
