The contract is part of the company’s 2014 strategy to transport natural gas for others, while it is also planning to re-open 30 existing wells and drill new wells.
ERA chairman and COO Charles Havens said the company’s team moved quickly to bury the feeder pipe to connect to the third party wells.
"Utilizing our 65 mile pipeline to haul gas for a third party has always been a significant part of our strategic plan," Havens added.
The company is drilling for natural gas in the Cherokee basin in Oklahoma, which is situated in the mid-continent region in southern Kansas, northern Oklahoma, and western Missouri.
The Cherokee basin, which is the eighth largest coalbed methane basin in US, covers around 26,500 square miles, according to the company.
