Williams Co. has decided to pull the plug on its Constitution Pipeline—a natural gas pipeline that feeds into New York State. In light of other legal battles, it is raising questions about the future of natural gas
The Constitution Pipeline first got regulatory approval in 2014. It would have been 124-miles, carrying Pennsylvania gas into New York State. But New York’s leadership has long been skeptical of shale gas — the unconventional form of natural gas that rests a mile beneath the earth’s surface and that must be drilled out using a concoction of chemicals, sand and water.
Not only is natural gas used to fuel electric generators. It is also used to feed chemical and manufacturing processes: Natural gas liquids – ethane, propane, butane, and others – are split off and used as valuable feedstocks to create products for everyday use before getting exported around the world. Nevertheless, shale gas drilling faces stiff opposition among those concerned about water quality and increased carbon emissions.
“Oil and gas companies have raised little new money from equity and bond markets since … even though the oil and gas sector faced a wave of debt refinancing … ” the Sightline and energy institute said.
