Project News

 


The pipeline connecting to the Calhoun LNG terminal and delivering the natural gas to the local markets and major pipelines in the region will be owned and operated by Point Comfort Pipeline Company, L.P., an affiliate of Gulf Coast Partners, L.P.

The Pipeline will consist of 27 miles of 36-inch diameter pipeline designed to transport one billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day of natural gas from the Calhoun LNG terminal. The pipeline will be able to access approximately 5 Bcf per day of pipeline takeaway capacity. As proposed, the Pipeline will extend north/northwest from the LNG Terminal and will include associated smaller delivery laterals at several interconnects. The planned interconnections include Formosa Hydrocarbons, Formosa Plastics, Energy Transfer (Houston Pipe Line/Channel System), Florida Gas Transmission, Kinder Morgan (Texas and Tejas Systems), Enterprise (Valero and Channel Systems), Boardwalk (Gulf South System), Natural Gas Pipeline of America, Transcontinental, and Tennessee Gas.

Point Comfort Pipeline has applied to the FERC for authorization under Section 7(c) of the NGA to site, construct and operate the Point Comfort Pipeline. The targeted in-service date is late 2009/early 2010.
