Due to the vagueness of this question, we cannot answer it in detail. However, we can address pipeline infrastructure more broadly.

  • Once a well is drilled and is in production, the gas must be transported for processing – the next step in safely delivering gas to homes and businesses. Gas is sent from the well in an underground “gathering pipeline” to a larger transmission pipeline. Most transmission pipelines are currently in operation and are part of a national infrastructure that is in place to deliver gas from the well, to the gathering line and on to customers. Compression stations and other support facilities are also constructed as needed to help move gas to market.
