Williams announced in April, 2009 that it had partnered up with Atlas Pipeline Partners to form a Marcellus shale pipeline venture called Laurel Mountain Midstream in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. In an end of April, 2009 update from Williams, the company President, Steve Malcolm, explained the basis of the partnership by saying,
this transaction provides Williams with the gathering systems and a very large acreage dedication in the heart of the Marcellus that gives us a couple of year head start in the development of a large scale, highly-reliable system which provides needed midstream services to both Atlas Energy and other producers in the region.
The transaction closed June 1, 2009. Williams was to operate the pipeline venture.
According to an August, 2009 press release, Dominion and Williams Transco announced a joint venture called the Keystone Connector to market and develop a new pipeline to transport natural gas from the Rockies and southern Marcellus shale to markets in eastern U.S. cities.

The expansion project was to move Marcellus shale gas from interconnections along the company's Leidy Line, cutting across Pennsylvania, to Transco's Station 210 pooling point and points of delivery in New York City. The company already had an agreement with one shipper for 200,000 Dth/d of capacity. The open season only pertained to the balance of 220,000 Dth/d of capacity that remained available.
