The Wyoming Pipeline project extends from northern Wyoming County southward to a new interconnection in Luzerne County with Transco’s interstate pipeline system.

The 24-inch diameter pipeline, which has 750 million cubic feet per day capacity, was initially constructed by Chief Gathering. PVR Partners acquired the project when it bought Chief Gathering in May 2012.

Currrently, the company has agreements with five producers for reliable and efficient services on the Wyoming Pipeline and intends to enter into more agreements.

PVR’s general partner president and CEO Bill Shea said the producers have contracted for initial firm transportation volumes totaling 255 MMcfd in 2012.

"We expect initial Wyoming Pipeline volumes will exceed the firm committed ‘take-or-pay’ amounts," added Shea.

"The existing volumes on our Susquehanna/ Wyoming gathering systems have been hampered by delivery constraints on the Tennessee Gas Pipeline 300 Line, and our ability to now deliver to Transco via the Wyoming Pipeline will increase volumes on the Susquehanna/ Wyoming gathering systems by over 20%."
