The final two laterals of the Rover Pipeline project, along with the associated compression and metering facilities, recently entered service, Energy Transfer LP said recently.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued approvals last week to commence natural gas service on the Sherwood Lateral and the CGT Lateral in West Virginia.

Rover has been operational since Aug. 31, 2017, but the final approval enables the pipeline to add an additional receipt point and delivery point for natural gas production.

The 713-mile pipeline transports up to 3.25 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica Shale production areas. It transports natural gas from processing plants in West Virginia, Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania to the Midwest Hub near Defiance, Ohio, for delivery to markets across the U.S., as well as to the Union Gas Dawn Storage Hub in Ontario, Canada.
