Determination

FERC issued a preliminary determination on nonenvironmental issues May 17 for the Southeast Supply Header project, a 270-mile pipeline running from the Perryville Hub to a connection Near Mobile County, AL, with Gulfstream Natural Gas, sponsored in part by Southern Natural Gas, subsidiaries of Centerpoint Energy and Spectra Energy. On the same day the Commission had authorized an expansion of Centerpoint’s connecting pipeline project, the Carthage-Perryville Line CP (see separate story).

FERC last Thursday awarded a favorable preliminary determination to Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC to build a 135-mile, mostly 42-inch diameter pipeline that would provide service from Cheniere LNG’s 2.6 Bcf Sabine Pass import terminal, which is under construction in Cameron Parish, LA, to multiple natural gas pipelines.

Southern Natural Gas, a pipeline subsidiary of El Paso Corp., on Tuesday received a favorable preliminary determination (PD) on non-environmental issues from FERC for its Cypress Pipeline project, which would open up a direct corridor for deliveries of regasified natural gas from the Elba Island liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Georgia to the flourishing northern Florida market.

FERC voted Wednesday to issue a preliminary determination on non-environmental issues for Williams’ Northwest Pipeline to abandon 268 miles of a 26-inch, 50-year-old pipeline on its mainline in Washington state, starting at Sumas on the Canadian border, and replace the capacity with looping and compression along a parallel 30-inch line (CP05-32).

FERC has issued a favorable preliminary determination (PD) on non environmental grounds for Tractebel’s proposed $132 million Calypso gas pipeline, which would bring regasified LNG to Florida’s East Coast from a proposed import terminal in the Bahamas (see NGI, July 30, 2001).

Contrary to a recent preliminary determination (PD) by FERC, Red Lake Gas Storage LP has argued the California and southwestern gas marketplace has changed dramatically since the energy crisis of 2000-2001, and its proposed 12 Bcf Arizona storage project should be allowed to charge market-based rates.
