Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC has announced the launch of a 14-day non-binding open season to gauge interest in the potential expansion of its Gulf Coast mainline system, which would increase NGPL’s capability to flow by up to 750,000 dekatherms per day of incremental volume from the Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) interconnection at Moultrie, Ill., to points south on its pipeline system.
This expansion project will provide for incremental firm transportation service from the existing interconnect with REX to existing and growing markets along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast. The project will source gas from the REX Moultrie receipt point and transport gas south to the Texok, South Texas and Louisiana delivery zones. The potential expansion would include the reversal of compressor stations, and minor pipe replacement and upgrade activities along NGPL.
Kinder Morgan Natural Gas Pipelines Central Region President David Devine, said: “This project will help satisfy the needs of both producers and end-use customers as gas production increases in the Utica and Marcellus shale, and markets continue to grow in Louisiana and South Texas.”
The non-binding open season began on Feb. 18, and ends at 4 p.m. CT on March 4, 2014.
