Ppeline Now Supplying Water for Marcellus Shale Well Completions

摘要

A new fresh water pipeline supporting Marcellus Shale drilling in north-central Pennsylvania is operational and, accordingf to its developers, has already eliminated 2,000 trips by heavy trucks over rural roadways. Aqua America and Penn Virginia Resource Partners (PVR) said their line is the first to pipe water directly to drill sites in the Marcellus without the public-highway use of heavy-weight 5,400-gallon tanker trucks.
