Constraints “Loom” re Flowing M-U Gas to the Midwest, Canada

Pipelines are necessary and critical to move supplies of natural gas (and oil) from where the product is extracted to where it’s needed. In the case of Marcellus/Utica natural gas, there is demand from four primary markets outside the northeast--Eastern Canada, the Midwest, the Gulf Coast, and the Southeast. There are six major interstate pipelines that flow our gas to the Midwest and Canadian markets. Combined, these six pipelines make up a little over 40% of the total northeast takeaway capacity for M-U gas (18.2 Bcf/d). The big question is, are we heading for full capacity and looming constraints on pipelines heading to these two important markets?
