Pennant's Gas Facility, Pipeline Under Development

Pennant Midstream, a joint venture between NiSource Midstream Services and Hilcorp Energy Co., will build a processing facility and a new pipeline as part of its $300 million project to serve the Utica and Marcellus shale plays in Ohio and Pennsylvania.  The pipeline will move natural gas to a cryogenic natural gas processing plant, located near Youngstown in Mahoning County, which should be in service by the end of the year.  According to NiSource Midstream Chief Operating Officer, Chad Zamarin, gas will start flowing through the first section of the pipeline within the next few weeks and the project will be finished by the second quarter of 2014.
