Traverse Midstream’s current assets, Rover Pipeline and Ohio River System, tap into supply from the prolific Marcellus/Utica shales. Traverse’s partner on both investments, Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), is a leading developer and operator of assets across the midstream investment spectrum.
Rover Pipeline
Rover is a new-build 715-mile, 42-inch FERC regulated interstate natural gas transmission pipeline with a full-service capacity of 3.25 Bcf/d. It will receive gas from processing plants in West Virginia, eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania for compression and delivery into premium markets. Traverse owns a 35% non-operating equity interest in Rover. The company initially secured a 20% interest in Rover in November 2014 and added an incremental 15% interest in January 2015.
Project Highlights
- Connects the currently over-supplied Appalachian Basin to historically premium markets
including Dawn, MichCon & the Gulf Coast - Provides an integrated, seamless transportation path through interconnects with
existing pipeline systems including Trunkline, PEPL and Vector - Nine shippers with 15-20 year firm volume commitments
- Compression capacity of 3.25 Bcf/d
- On February 2, 2017, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved
Rover’s application to construct and operate the Rover Pipeline Project - In-service schedule
- Phase 1A entered service August 31, 2017
- Receipts at MarkWest Cadiz Processing Complex and ORS Cadiz interconnect;
deliveries at Defiance, OH to Panhandle Eastern and ANR - Currently flowing ~640 mmcfd (est. max capacity 670 mmcfd)
- Receipts at MarkWest Cadiz Processing Complex and ORS Cadiz interconnect;
- Phase 1B expected in service December 1, 2017
- Phase 2 expected in service March 1, 2018
- Phase 1A entered service August 31, 2017
Ohio River System
Ohio River System is a new-build 52-mile, 36-inch mainline gathering pipe located in the highly productive Utica dry gas window with strategic delivery points. Traverse secured its 25% non-operating equity interest in Ohio River System in August 2014.
Project Highlights
- In-service in October 2015
- Dry gas gathering trunkline that runs through the heart of the prolific Utica dry gas window
- Capable of transporting 2.1 Bcf/d of dry gas volume southward to Clarington and 1.4 Bcf/d northward to Rover (3.5 Bcf/d total)
- 800 MMcf/d compression capacity at Clarington, scalable to 2.2 Bcf/d
- Cadiz Lateral
- Connects MWE Cadiz plant to main Ohio River System trunkline
- Provides producers additional receipt/delivery points and increased market optionality
- Connectivity to REX and TETCO at Clarington (with potential for future interconnections to Rover Pipeline and Leach Express)
- Connectivity to Rover Pipeline on northern end of system
