The Williams Companies, a natural gas midstream company, has announced that that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved a proposal to expand its Transco natural gas pipeline to serve markets in the southeastern US.
The company has said that the new service from the Mobile Bay South project would be available in the second quarter of 2010.
The project is designed to create 253,500 dekatherms of southbound, year-round firm transportation capacity on the Mobile Bay Lateral from Transco's mainline at Station 85 near Butler, Alabama, to its interconnect with Gulfstream Natural Gas System in Coden, Alabama.
Phil Wright, president of Williams's natural gas pipeline business, said: "We appreciate the efforts of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and other state and federal agencies in reviewing this application.
"The Mobile Bay South project will enable us to provide firm southbound transportation service for growing domestic supplies from new pipeline interconnects at Station 85 to markets in Southwest Alabama and Florida, as well as third-party storage facilities, while maintaining the full capability of the lateral to supply our traditional customers through northbound service to Station 85."
