Natural gas liquids extracted from Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale will go via new pipelines to Texas.
"BEAUMONT, Texas -- From some angles, it looks as if all pipelines lead to Beaumont. The Texas town seems to build in bulk when it comes to prisons, Baptist churches and taquerias -- and pipelines are no different, with dozens of them underlying cow pastures or poking out of the ground when they cross a shallow bayou.
Soon, new pipelines originating in Pennsylvania will join the crowded Texas fields after a trip of nearly 1,500 miles. Their cargo: natural gas liquids extracted from parts of the Marcellus Shale that lies under Appalachia.
Traveling from Pennsylvania to Texas via pipeline has become the hottest ticket in the energy industry."
