The Texas-Louisiana Markets Project will serve increased electric and industrial demand along the U.S. Gulf Coast. This project is designed to transport up to 157,500 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) through reversal of throughput on the 30-inch diameter Texas Eastern pipeline from Opelousas, Louisiana to Vidor, Texas.
The project consists of two separate components:
The Texas Industrial Market Expansion would add 82,500 Dth/d from an existing Egan Hub Partners receipt points to various delivery points at the AGL Golden Triangle meter station, and a future interconnect south of the Vidor Compressor Station, serving Natgasoline LLC
The Louisiana Market Expansion would add 75,000 Dth/d from Opelousas to a delivery point in Beauregard Parish, LA, serving electric utility Entergy Louisiana LLC
The project also involves replacement of two impellers and installation of two gas cooling bays at the existing Gillis compressor station.
Texas Eastern Transmission LP, a business unit of Enbridge, filed for a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) certificate on Oct. 23, 2017. |
