Compression

Iroquois Gas Transmission System LP Monday announced the start of a binding open season for its Wright Transfer Compressor (WTC) project, which would add up to 15,400 hp of transfer compression at Iroquois’ existing interconnecting with Tennessee Gas Pipeline’s 200 Line in Wright, NY.

Questar Pipeline Co. is holding a binding open season through July 15 for capacity that would be created by the installation of compression facilities on its Mainline 68 in Garfield County, CO. The proposed project would enable Questar to transport up to an additional 50,000 Dth/d from receipt points east of Greasewood on Mainline 68. Up to 47,500 Dth/d of the proposed capacity could be delivered to the White River Hub and TransColorado Gas Transmission Co. Up to 21,160 Dth/d could be delivered to various locations on Questar’s northern system that include Colorado Interstate Gas at Kanda, Northwest Pipeline GP at Crossover 16, Questar Gas Co. (Wasatch Front), Questar Overthrust Pipeline Co., Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline at Skull Creek and Wyoming Interstate Co. LLC at Kanda.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved Gulfstream Natural Gas System LLC’s proposal for a mostly compression expansion of its system in the West-Central portion of Florida. In its Phase V Expansion Project the pipeline plans to add a 20,500 hp compressor unit and associated facilities in Manatee County, FL, which would increase mainline capacity by 35,000 Dth/d. Gulfstream said it has executed a 25-year firm service agreement with Florida Power Corp. for all of the capacity to serve the utility’s Hines Generating Station in Polk County, FL. Gulfstream pegged the cost of the Phase V facilities at $50.8 million. The Commission approved Gulfstream’s request for a predetermination supporting rolled-in rate treatment for the costs of the expansion in its next Section 4 rate case, absent a material change in circumstances.
