As producers continue to focus on liquids-production, the Marcellus shale has become the “it” play with nearly 200 rigs active in the region. This activity necessitates the development of new midstream infrastructure and the expansion of older infrastructure. The truly unique aspect of this shale play is that it produces dry gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil.
The Midstream Workshop at DUG™ East will provide attendees with the knowledge they need on the Appalachian Basin as the play is bursting with new drilling, production and take-away activity. New gathering, processing, transmission and storage projects are relieving bottlenecks and keeping natural gas and liquids flowing to ready markets.
In this workshop, operators, end-users and attendees discuss supply, demand, finance, technology and project updates. Hart Energy experts from Midstream Business, Midstream Monitor and Refinery Tracker will host this workshop.
2012 agenda to come.

Welcome and Opening Remarks
The Appalachian Basin is bursting with new drilling, production and take-away activity. New gathering, processing, transmission and storage projects are relieving bottlenecks and keeping natural gas and liquids flowing to ready markets. In this workshop, operators, end-users and attendees discuss supply, demand, finance, technology and project updates.
Keynote: Setting the stage - Future Marcellus Potential
EQT is at the center of it all, with nearly 3.4 million acres and more than 28 Tcf equivalent of reserves potential. During the past several years, its midstream business has constructed more than 1,000 miles of pipeline and installed some 108,000 horsepower of compression. Here’s the operators bird’s eye view of the play.

Ethane Take-Away, Crackers, Storage and Petrochemicals
Several competing projects for ethane take-away from the Marcellus are on the drawing boards, including the Mariner West project, two pipeline reversals to the Gulf Coast, the Marcellus Union and Marcellus Lateral to Sarnia, among others. Which will emerge victorious, or will more than one be built? Will a new petrochemical complex or ethane storage facility be built in the northeast? This discussion focuses on the pros and cons of each strategy.
