New Natural Gas Pipeline Planned for West Virginia, Ohio

 A company is planning a $1.75 billion project that includes laying 160 miles of natural gas pipeline in West Virginia and Ohio.

Columbia Pipeline Group announced the investment in a news release Tuesday. The proposal would help transport up to 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas.

Columbia expects to start construction in fall 2016 before putting the pipeline in service in the second half of 2017. It will support natural gas development in western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and eastern Ohio.

A second component will allow for more Appalachian shipments through a corridor stretching to the Gulf Coast. It primarily involves adding compression for existing pipelines.

Columbia Pipeline Group is run by Indiana-based NiSource Inc. Columbia’s companies run about 15,000 miles of interstate natural gas pipeline.

Property Owners Sue Over 2012 Sissonville Pipeline Blast

NiSource Inc. and two subsidiaries are being sued by two Sissonville property owners over a 2012 natural gas pipeline rupture and explosion.
 
John Hampton Tinney and his sister, Elizabeth Tinney Garten, allege in their lawsuit that the explosion rendered their property “valueless” and ruined their chances to sell it.
 
The lawsuit names as defendants NiSource, Columbia Pipeline Group Services Co., Columbia Gas Transmission and several employees.
 
The defendants denied the allegations in their responses to the lawsuit. They say the lawsuit didn’t state a claim for which relief could be granted. They also say the damage was caused by preexisting or unrelated events.
 
The Charleston Daily Mail reports that the lawsuit was filed in early February in Kanawha County Circuit Court, and the responses were filed last week.
