CONSOL Energy Inc. (CNX), Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (SXL), Spectra Energy Corp. (SE): Tap Into These Pipelines to Pipe in Profits

The plan is expected to pass government approval and will begin as soon as mid-2014. Spectra’s goal is to:

…efficiently and cost-effectively expand the Texas Eastern system to accommodate increased natural-gas production from the Appalachian region and deliver these critically needed natural-gas supplies to diverse markets in the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast and Gulf Coast.

Additionally, Spectra Energy Corp. (NYSE:SE) is expecting to invest around $4 billion by 2016 to further develop the infrastructure within the Marcellus and Utica shales.

Producers of natural gas, like CONSOL Energy Inc. (NYSE:CNX), are calling upon infrastructure builders so that growth can be sustained and even continue. Therefore, expect to see Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (NYSE:SXL) and Spectra Energy Corp. (NYSE:SE), along with other MLPs, rise to the challenge.
