Fayetteville Express Pipeline LLC (FEP) has filed an application at FERC to build an interstate pipeline project that would provide more takeaway capacity from Arkansas’ Fayetteville Shale play. Prolific production in the Fayetteville Shale, which is estimated to have natural gas potential of 20-30 Tcf, is the driver behind the pipeline project.

El Paso warned shippers Wednesday afternoon of the potential for a Strained Operating Condition (SOC), saying its linepack was expected to drop below 7,200 MMcf that night because of evening loads in the Phoenix area and the continuation of takes in excess of scheduled deliveries. However, the pipeline canceled the SOC warning Thursday due to customer response being sufficient to increase its linepack “to acceptable levels.” Washington Ranch storage remained on maximum withdrawal, El Paso added.
