The chances of an Oregon liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility being constructed remain about 50-50, with the crucial indicator coming early next year, said Portland, OR-based Northwest Natural Gas Co. CEO Gregg Kantor

Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP) Thursday announced two more binding contracts to transport natural gas via its proposed Tiger Pipeline system. The 180-mile pipeline, to be constructed by ETP and a subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy Corp., would carry gas from Carthage, TX, through the heart of the Haynesville Shale and terminate near Delhi, LA (see Daily GPI, Jan. 28).

A draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for Floridian Natural Gas Storage Co. LLC’s (FGS) Floridian Natural Gas Storage project, prepared by FERC staff says if the proposed project is constructed and operated in accordance with FGS’ proposed minimization and mitigation measures, recommended mitigation measures, and applicable laws and regulations, the facilities would result in limited adverse environmental impacts.

Falcon Gas Storage Co. Inc. subsidiary NorTex Gas Storage Co. LLC started flowing gas through its newly constructed Worsham-Steed Pipeline, the company said. The system is a 60-mile, 24-inch high-pressure pipeline in the western portion of the Barnett Shale play in North Texas. Initial flow rates have ranged 150,000-200,000 Mcf/d and are expected to increase as gas injection activity accelerates at the Falcon’s Worsham-Steed Gas Storage facility. Traversing Jack, Parker and Hood counties, the pipeline has a capacity of 450,000 Mcf/d, which can be expanded to 650,000 Mcf/d. The pipe connects with three export pipelines serving the North Texas market area — Energy Transfer’s Old Ocean pipeline, Enterprise Product’s and Energy Transfer’s North Texas Pipeline, and Atmos Energy’s Line X pipeline. These pipelines serve markets from the Waha Hub in West Texas to the Carthage Hub in Northeast Texas, as well as the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas in North Texas, including the Barnett Shale. Ultimately, Falcon plans to connect the Worsham-Steed Pipeline with a total of 10 pipelines in the North Texas/Barnett Shale market area.
