Williams Partners reports that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved a proposal to expand its Transco natural gas pipeline

摘要

New service from the Mobile Bay South II Expansion project would be available in May 2011. The project has been designed to increase the southbound, year-round firm transportation capacity on the Mobile Bay Lateral from Transco's mainline at Station 85 near Butler, Alabama, to its interconnect with Gulfstream Natural Gas System in Coden, Alabama. The Mobile Bay South II Expansion project will require a compression addition of 8,180 hp at Transco Compressor Station 85 and facility modifications at Station 83. Construction is scheduled to begin before the end of the month and end by May 2011. Williams estimates that the project facilities will cost approximately $36 million.
