Gathering Marcellus Shale Gas

In Wetzel County a company that has recently made the news is Texas-based Caiman Energy LLC. Caiman does not drill to produce the gas; rather its primary business is gathering, processing, and delivering marketable gas from northern West Virginia to Texas Eastern Transmission Pipeline for delivery to the northeastern United States. Caiman has already invested $150 million in Marshall and Wetzel counties, and will spend a total of $400 million by the end of 2011. Caiman has completed 60 miles of gas lines in Marshall and Wetzel counties with 60 additional miles to be completed in 2011.
