Spectra Energy has said that its Texas Eastern Transmission has announced an open season for Texas Eastern Appalachia to Market 2013, a proposed expansion of its existing Texas Eastern system to deliver additional, emerging Appalachian and Marcellus Shale natural gas supplies to the Northeast markets in the US.
The Texas Eastern Appalachia to Market (TEAM) 2013 open season is in addition to the previously announced TEAM 2012 expansion which will provide customers with up to 300 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) of capacity by the fourth quarter of 2012.
The TEAM 2013 expansion project, with an estimated late 2013 in service, will target a capacity expansion of 500mmcf/d. The expansion project is not restricted to this target capacity amount and will be scalable and sized to meet customer needs.
Bob Riga, general manager of Spectra Energy Transmission, said: "TEAM 2013 will contemplate new, firm incremental transportation capacity of the Texas Eastern facilities with a targeted 2013 in service to accommodate customers' timing and increased transportation capacity needs as their production ramps up.
"As development of the Appalachian and Marcellus production regions increases, Texas Eastern will continue to develop expansion projects, like TEAM 2012 and TEAM 2013, which are timed and sized to meet customer needs, enabling them to address their growth requirements and get their supplies to market."
