Stagecoach

Houston-based Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI) is expanding its footprint in the Northeast with the $1.225 billion purchase of the Stagecoach natural gas pipeline and storage system from a joint venture between Crestwood Equity Partners LP and Consolidated Edison Inc. (ConEd). The Stagecoach system consists of 185 miles of pipeline with multiple interconnects to major interstate…

Columbia Gas Transmission LLC (TCO) said based on its current repair schedule for Leach XPress, which was damaged in an explosion earlier this month, it now expects to return the pipeline to service sometime in early July.

Crestwood Equity Partners LP and Consolidated Edison Inc. announced Thursday a joint venture (JV) in which Crestwood would contribute its natural gas pipeline and storage business in Northern Pennsylvania and Southern New York to a new company that will pair Marcellus Shale gas with high-demand markets in the Northeast.

Due to limited takeaway capacity during Stagecoach Storage maintenance that began Wednesday and will continue through Thursday (see Daily GPI, Sept. 6a), Tennessee said its operational flexibility to manage imbalances in Zone 4 on Line 300 between Stations 315 (Wellsboro, PA) and 321 (West Clifford, PA) is restricted. Thus it declared an Imbalance Warning for the line in Zone 4 Wednesday, requiring all delivery point operators between the two stations to keep actual daily takes out of the system equal to or greater than scheduled quantities regardless of their cumulative imbalance position. All receipt point operators in the segment are required to keep actual daily receipts into the system equal to or less than scheduled quantities regardless of their cumulative imbalance position.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) on EOG Resources natural gas development project in the Chapita Wells-Stagecoach Area (CWSA) of the Uinta Basin in Utah. The project involves plans to drill up to 627 new natural gas wells across about 31,870 acres of land located 30 miles south of Vernal, UT in Uintah County.
