FERC has issued a certificate authorizing Texas Eastern Transmission LP (Tetco) to construct and operate a trio of projects that would reverse flow on its mainline to transport 622,000 Dth/d of natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shales to Midwest and southeastern markets.

The first phase of Texas Eastern Transmission LP’s Gulf Markets Expansion Project will be ready to enter service once the Spectra Energy Partners LP pipeline gets a go-ahead from FERC. The pipeline has asked the Commission for an OK to begin service by Sept. 23.

Twelve shippers have signed up for about 90% of the firm capacity that would be available on the proposed PennEast Pipeline, which would access eastern Marcellus Shale gas for the benefit of markets in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, according to the project’s formal application at FERC.

FERC said it plans to decide by early December whether to approve the Gulf Markets Expansion Project, a bidirectional expansion by Spectra Energy Partners LP’s Texas Eastern Transmission LP (Tetco) that would have capacity to move 650,000 Dth/d from Appalachia and South Texas to the Gulf Coast.

Williams’ Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC (Transco) recently began service on two expansions along the eastern seaboard: the Northeast Connector Project and partially on the Virginia Southside Expansion Project.

FERC has approved Texas Eastern Transmission LP’s request to construct and operate the Ohio Pipeline Energy Network (OPEN) project, which would carry Marcellus/Utica shale gas to Gulf Coast markets and other markets using interconnections with downstream pipelines.

UGI Energy Services Inc. has completed two gathering projects in northeast Pennsylvania that will give a boost to utility customers with locally-sourced natural gas and help operators move more of their production to sales.

Construction of Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line’s (Transco) Leidy Southeast expansion, which would help alleviate capacity constraints in the Marcellus Shale, “would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment,” according to an environmental assessment (EA) prepared by FERC staff.
