Tetco

Spectra Energy Corp. officials on Tuesday said a confluence of factors led to the April explosion of its Texas Eastern Transmission LP (Tetco) pipeline in Southwest Pennsylvania, mainly attributing the blast to significant corrosion that has changed the way it will inspect pipes going forward.

Texas Eastern Transmission LP (Tetco) said in a notice posted last week that it has completed a quarter of the work necessary to restore its Penn-Jersey system to full capacity after it was damaged in an explosion and fire in Westmoreland County, PA, earlier this year.

FERC has issued an environmental assessment (EA) for a trio of projects to enable Texas Eastern Transmission LP (Tetco) to transport up to an additional 662,000 Dth/d of natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shales on its mainline from Pennsylvania to points in Ohio, Kentucky and Mississippi.

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued Spectra Energy Corp. an amended corrective action order detailing a slate of work that must be completed before Texas Eastern Transmission’s (Tetco) Penn-Jersey system can return to full-service after an April blast that damaged it.

Full service on Texas Eastern Transmission’s (Tetco) Penn-Jersey pipeline system, which runs from Delmont, PA, to Lambertville, NJ, might not be restored until November after an April explosion and fire on a portion of the system in Westmoreland County, PA, has its owners concerned about safety.

Spectra Energy Corp. said late Monday that it has restored partial physical capacity through the Delmont compressor station less than two weeks after a portion of the Texas Eastern (Tetco) pipeline exploded and caught fire in Southwest Pennsylvania.
