The Williams Companies has announced that its Transco pipeline is holding a non-binding open season from July 16, 2009 to August 19, 2009, for an expansion project designed to provide increased capacity on its Transco natural gas pipeline system to serve markets in the southeastern US.
Williams said that its proposed Mid-South expansion project will offer shippers the opportunity to subscribe to incremental year-round firm transportation service on Transco's mainline from its Station 85 pool in Choctaw County, Alabama to delivery points as far north as Transco's interconnection with Cardinal Pipeline Company in Rockingham County, North Carolina.
The Mid-South expansion project is designed to provide up to 230,000 dekatherms per day of new capacity; it is anticipated to be available as early as September 2012, subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval.
Phil Wright, president of Williams's natural gas pipeline business, said: "By the end of 2009, Transco customers will have access to as much as an additional three billion cubic feet per day of domestic, clean-burning natural gas at Station 85. This project connects abundant new supply basins to growing markets in the Southeast."
