Gathering and Pipes

Our business has operations in 40 of the 88 counties throughout Ohio, with more than 2,300 miles of pipeline systems and right-of-way in the Marcellus and Utica shale production areas in central and eastern Ohio.

Aspire Energy provides natural gas midstream services, processing and transportation services to approximately 300 producers, and wholesale natural gas supply to over 20,000 end-users in Ohio. Aspire Energy also supports operation of Consumers Gas Cooperative.

Gas from our gathering systems that is not distributed to local distribution companies or other end-users is transported to intrastate pipelines. To connect with larger intrastate pipelines, the gas must first be compressed and, if needed, processed to remove natural gas liquids (NGLs). Aspire Energy operates six compressors and three processing plants in Ohio.

We pursue investments that provide incremental demand for natural gas, which includes constructing pipelines to serve shale production and conversion of fuel oil and propane consumers. By identifying innovative solutions, we serve our existing markets and reach out to new markets with new service offerings.
