2 min read

NORTH CANTON, Ohio – Rover Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners and Mount Vernon, Ohio-based Ariel Corp. said Monday Ariel was awarded a $34 million contract to supply 39 natural gas compressors to the Rover Pipeline. The total cost of the contract is estimated at more than $34 million.

Rover is a $4.2 billion natural gas pipeline that will transport domestically produced natural gas from multiple processing facilities in Northeast Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania to multiple markets in the central United States including Ohio and Michigan. The eastern end of the project begins in northern Washington County.

The pipeline also will facilitate natural gas deliveries to markets in the Northeast, Great Lakes and Gulf Coast regions of the United States as well as to Canadian provinces. The $4.2 billion pipeline is designed to transport up to 3.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas through 36″ and 42″ diameter pipeline.

“Energy Transfer Senior Vice President noted that Ariel has been an integral part of the Ohio business community for nearly 50 years. He added that the 200 miles of pipeline for the Rover project in Ohio will create an estimated 6,500 construction jobs and 30 to 40 permanent jobs.”

Rover Pipeline purchased a combination of Caterpillar natural gas engines and Ariel compressors providing in excess of 211,000 horsepower at nine compressor stations along its proposed 711-mile route.

Ariel is the world’s largest manufacturer of separable reciprocating gas compressors used by the global energy industry.
