Atlantic Sunrise Secures Crucial Service Authorization Just in Time for Winter

摘要

After securing FERC’s blessing to place the remainder of its Atlantic Sunrise expansion into service, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC (Transco) is set to ramp up takeaway capacity out of the eastern Marcellus Shale just in time for the heating season. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff issued an in-service authorization Thursday for the 1.7 Bcf/d project, clearing the way for the critical 186-mile greenfield segment of Atlantic Sunrise to uncork additional Appalachian volumes by opening another avenue for producers to reach East Coast markets by way of the Transco mainline.
