Dominion Resources Inc. is considering building an approximately 450-mile natural gas transmission pipeline from West Virginia through Virginia to southern North Carolina that would go into service by the end of 2018.

 

The project is in the "extremely preliminary" stage, company spokesman Jim Norvelle said. "We have not decided to do this."

 

The pipeline, called the Dominion Southeast Reliability Project, would extend from the Marcellus and Utica shale production regions in the Appalachians to markets in Virginia and North Carolina, according to a statement from Thomas F. Farrell II, Dominion Resources' chairman, president and CEO.
