Background

Columbia Gas Transmission is owned and operated by Transcanada. It was acquired by Transcanada as part of its $13 billion purchase of the Columbia Pipeline group in 2016. The acquisition came after Transcanada's 2015 failure to win approval for its proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, and Transcanada's CEO Russ Girling stressed the company's desire to increase its capacity to carry gas from the lucrative Marcellus and Utica Shale regions.
