Owner Objective

Williams provides gathering, processing, and fractionation of natural gas in the Marcellus Shale region. Williams Partners, LP is one of the largest energy master limited partnerships in North America.

CEC Approach

Since 2010, CEC has developed a partnership with Williams by first opening an office specifically to serve Chesapeake Midstream Partners, LP (CHK) in northeastern Pennsylvania. CHK changed its name in 2012 to Access Midstream Partners, LP and ultimately merged with Williams in 2015. CEC has continued to grow this relationship throughout the corporate changes and beyond northeastern Pennsylvania into all areas of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. CEC has been able to accomplish this time and again by proving the value of its inclusion on the team.

CEC’s team provides its full toolbox of services to Williams from initial route development, to permitting, as-built surveys, and permit close out. To date, CEC has collaborated with Williams to complete engineering and permitting for three gas processing facilities, 19 compression or other facilities, and more than 450 miles of pipeline. Facilities are located in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and pipelines are located in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
