Millport Pipeline

Been posting stuff about this pipeline on individual well threads but thought an update of the entire pipeline's progress would be good on it's own thread.

 

This pipeline leaves the Kensington UEO plant near Millport thus the name.

It runs to Milltree Well which is producing.  There may be a few other wells online with this pipeline too but don't have that info handy. 

Currently they are working from Milltree and going towards Tritten on 172 just where it meets 30 west of Lisbon.

There are several wells in between and lots of progress being made on all of them.

Henceroth on Lisbon Dungannon  pipe is pushed under the road and pipe is laid out all the way to this well ready for welding and then being buried.

Andrulis also on Lisbon Dungannon but east towards Lisbon a separate branch is being constructed to go to it and that is currently under construction.  Lots of activity in this area recently late into the night one night. Clearing the path right now ... no pipe laid out yet.

Trebilcock - pipe all laid down up over the hill to this well also waiting to be welded and buried no road crossings to get to this well

Dye - two road crossings at Trinity Church Rd and then McCallister, pipe has been pushed under these two locations.  There is a small stream that needs pipe pushed under just before the dye well.  That has not been done. All the rest of the pipe is laid out ready to weld then bury.

Crosser - pipe laid out to Crosser mostly along route 30 which you can easily see.  There are two road crossings Crosser Rd then Rt 30.  Crosser is done but Rt 30 is just prepped.

Tritten - pipe laid out all the way to this well.  Road Crossings at County Home Road and 172.  The main focus hear right now and there is a lot of activity and weekend activity is the wet lands near the prison and old county home building.  They have taken tyvek and surrounded three large areas of the wet lands.  Today I saw a pump in there.  There is a clear path across the wetlands where the pipeline seems to be going to go.  At first I thought they would go under all of this but am still watching progress.  The pump and Tyvek made me think that they might be going to take some water out and still dig in this area but protect anything from being sucked up into the pump.  Have to keep watching here to see what happens.The crossing at 172 has not be prepped and the landowner still has corn in this field which they may be waiting for him to take.  But at Dye they just made a path through the landowners corn. 

This is why lease language is important.  Lots of trees being taken down too all along this route.  (Some by Ohio Edison in a different project as they are in OE ROW.  May be related if pipeline company requested or paid for this work.) Landowners need to make sure lease language includes payment for these things.  If not well you will just be out of luck because they just plow through them.

Tyvek and pump are to contain drilling mud that found its way upwards from the drilling site 40 feet under the wetlands and seeped into the wetlands through a natural or man made opening in the earth. There were two separate incidents. And I do recall when driving by two different occassions when workers were in the water installing the Tyvek. Heard on the radio today and there is an article on Salemnews.net also. Problem seems to be under control and was reported immediately to EPA by Access Midstream who will not be fined because of their removing the drilling mud and containment of it which stopped it from entering the creek. This is my interpretation of what happened based on the article and also driving by on a regular basis.

Update 11/15/13

I have not seen this entire pipeline this week but what I have seen

Pipe is under the road at Trinity Church, McCallister, Crosser and Route 30

Pipe west of Trinity Church is welded.  Heavy equipment on sight to trench here soon.

Pipe from Trinity Church to McCallister is up on cribs and ready to weld or being welded by now.

Have not been on Lisbon Dungannon lately to see the progress near these two wells.

Still lots of work being done near County Home Road.

The Millport Pipeline is in the final stages of completion.  The ground is being reclaimed now that it has warmed up ever so slightly.  A couple of weeks ago beginning at the last well (Tritten on 172) a crew was at the well site into the night.  They had lights brought in so they could work 24/7.  Then they were at Crosser for several days.  They are currently at Dye.  They seem to be working down the line towards the plant in Kensington or to Milltree well which is where this leg of the pipeline began I believe.  The heavy equipment, tires, porta potties etc have been removed.

I am only speculating but they seem to be finalizing the connection of these wells.  Most of these wells have not been flared and I had read somewhere that flaring is in the process of being replaced with some other method of testing wells.  So we will see if any of these are flared over the next few weeks or if they simply go online and begin producing.

What name are you calling the pipeline that hooks up with the Albaneso pad?  Its coming from McKarn going south through Lamp and west to Albaneso then west towards Briceland.

 Also Recorders office show Cardinal leasing land that is  running north from Salineville up the railroad tracks towards Summitville but no ground breaking.

We have driven out to look at this but I do not see any name on any of the surveying stakes.  Millport was written on the stakes back when they surveyed and at each the entrance of each well that was going to be hooked to it there was a stake that said Millport.  The Teegarden Pipeline was named in an article in the paper when they did a story about the RUMA being approved by township or county I forget which.  I will check out the RUMA agreements in the area of this pipeline and see if I see a name.

Also there is a thread on here Albaneso gathering Pipeline for lack of any better name yet.

While the main section of this pipeline seems to be completed and the wells are listed as producing an additional leg is being added to this pipeline. It leaves the main pipeline before Tritten Well and on the other side of the road. It crosses 172 and goes north and east near Camp McKinley. It crosses Saltwell then goes northeast staying west of Lisbon until it crosses 45 just above Lisbon. I did not go any further NE as it was getting dark but after looking at a map Miller Road is NE then across Route 11 and Chesapeake Grubbs Well is on Miller Road east of 11. I suspect this pipeline is headed in that direction and will take a trip down Miller Rd to confirm my suspicions.

OK I was slightly off my game on this. I drove by several wells east of route 11today including Grubbs. There is no indication of any pipeline going to any well east of 11 yet and no indication that they are set up to go int production. Just a loney xmas tree at those I could actually see the pad.

I followed the pipeline that I see starting near 172 close to Tritten Well to its apparent end crossing 45 up to Miller Road which it crosses but continues north and does not go to Grubbs east of 11. I drove up Grafton and saw it cross a road to my left or west and continued up Grafton and to my surprise the pipeline goes right to Hilcorp Salem Grubbs.

I can not see how the Hilcorp Well on 30 wiil be hooked up to this pipeline which is pretty far west of the well pad and seems to be on the wrong side of 172. Could Hilcorp have another permit in the works amid all the Chesapeake wells out here????

Pennant Midstream did just build a Pipeyard/laydown yard at the entrance to the Hilcorp RT 30 well for lack of an actual name. So it now appears that a branch of Hickory Bend is coming to Lisbon. But I may be wrong again, just have to keep watching.

This Pipeline is being zipped up!  Today on the west side of Trinity Church the topsoil was back in place and smooth.  Guys in the creek with big water pump.  I think there is a containment pond up by Trebilcock Well.  I suspect they are using water to add to the reclamation grass .. the weird green paper stuff with seeds in it.   Is there a well at Trebilcock that was not fracked?  This water pump is at the same location they took water from to frack that well or to fill the pond to frack the well.  But I am thinking they are using the pond now for water for reclamation.
