Energy Transfer Partners has completed the 160-mile Texas Independence Pipeline. The company believes that the new natural gas pipeline increases the partnership's take away capacity in Texas by an incremental 1.1 billion cubic feet per day. The company has also completed the Rulison expansion project in Colorado.
The 42-inch Texas Independence natural gas pipeline serves the Bossier and Barnett Shale natural gas resource plays in east and north central Texas.
Originating just west of Maypearl, Texas and ending near Henderson, Texas, the Texas Independence Pipeline connects the partnership's existing central and north Texas infrastructure to its east Texas pipeline network.
With the addition of compression, the project may be expanded to transport natural gas volumes in excess of 1.75 billion cubic feet per day.
Roy Patton, senior vice president of commercial at Energy Transfer Partners, said: "The completion of the Texas Independence Pipeline is another exciting milestone for us as it is our third 42-inch natural gas pipeline in Texas that allows natural gas from Waha, the Barnett Shale and Bossier Sands to reach markets throughout east and southeast Texas."
