Energy Transfer 3Q: Marcellus Driller Signs 15-Year Rover Deal

Energy Transfer (ET), the Dallas-based pipeline giant behind the Rover Pipeline and the Mariner East system, reported its third-quarter 2026 results yesterday. The top-line numbers were big: adjusted EBITDA of $5.03 billion, up 31% from $3.84 billion a year ago. But for the MDN audience, the real story is in the details. ET has started a new 15-year, 250,000 MMBtu/d deal on Rover with an unnamed Marcellus driller. One customer on ET's newly approved South Mississippi Pipeline has signed up for long-term capacity to move Marcellus/Utica gas south starting in 2029. And ET says the ethane export expansion at its Marcus Hook terminal near Philadelphia is on schedule for the second half of 2027, with roughly 75% of the new capacity already spoken for. Plus, co-CEO Marshall "Mackie" McCrea said goodbye on the call and had some choice words for pipeline saboteurs.
