PA DEP Issues Permits for TETCO Appalachia to Market III Pipe
January 12, 2026January 12, 2026

Last summer, Texas Eastern Transmission Pipeline Company (aka TETCO, owned by Enbridge) filed to build the Appalachia to Market III Project, abbreviated A2M III (see TETCO Files Appalachia to Market III, Small Pipe Tweaks in PA). A2M III is designed to provide additional natural gas supply in Pennsylvania and the broader region to meet growing demand from utilities and industrial users for Marcellus gas. The A2M III Project will provide up to 32,000 dekatherms per day (32 MMcf/d) of additional firm natural gas transportation service from the Appalachian supply basin in Southwest Pennsylvania to meet the needs of two existing local distribution company customers in Pennsylvania and Delaware. Over the weekend, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) published a notice that it has issued requested water quality permits and approvals for the project.

TETCO Files Appalachia to Market III, Small Pipe Tweaks in PA
July 21, 2025July 21, 2025

Two years ago, Texas Eastern Transmission Pipeline Company (aka TETCO) filed to build the Appalachia to Market II Project (A2M II) and the Entriken HP Replacement Project (see FERC Chair Phillips Surprises, Moves to Quickly Advance 3 Gas Pipes). The two projects combined worked together to flow an extra 55,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d, same as 55 MMcf/d) of natural gas from the Marcellus/Utica in southwest Pennsylvania to existing local distribution companies in New Jersey. TETCO, owned and operated by Enbridge, is back with another expansion project. The company recently filed a request with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the Appalachia to Market III Project (A2M III).

February 2, 2015February 2, 2015

Chevron, according to NGI’s Shale Plays Factbook, is the fourth largest acreage holder in the Marcellus Shale with some 700,000 acres.

MDN received an email notice (below) from EnergyNet, hired to broker a sale for two of what they say will be an eventual 12 tracks of Marcellus acreage that Chevron owns. The current two are located in Bedford, Blair and Cambria counties in Pennsylvania and represent just over 17,000 acres total.

PA Counties Band Together for Grant to Create Marcellus Jobs
March 7, 2012March 7, 2012

A regional economic development group made up of officials from Blair, Cambria, Somerset, Huntingdon, Fulton and Bedford counties in Pennsylvania is asking the state for a $700,000 grant to help them help businesses located in the southern Allegheny region identify new business opportunities in the shale gas drilling industry. The group hopes that their geography, strategically located between PA’s northeastern and southwestern Marcellus gas fields, will bring new business to the area, and along with that new business, more jobs.

Some Juniata Township residents (located near Altoona, in central Pennsylvania) with properties close to Marcellus Shale drilling sites have had their water tested as a precautionary measure. Their aim is to have evidence in case their water supplies become contaminated due to drilling activity. While MDN would point out that no known instances of chemical contamination of drinking water supplies from Marcellus Shale drilling exist, we applaud anyone who wants to ensure the drilling industry lives up to its stated high standards. The residents of Juniata Township offer this sage advice if you do get testing done:
