Williams Partners LP has placed into service a pair of expansions on its 10,500-mile Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco), which will add a combined 598,500 Dth/d of firm transportation capacity to serve markets in the southeastern United States, the Tulsa-based partnership said Monday.

Penn Virginia Corp. (PVA) has paid $14.5 million for approximately 4,100 net acres in Gonzales County, TX, bringing its total net Eagle Ford Shale acreage to about 10,900 acres, and has seen success with its initial Eagle Ford well, the Radnor, PA-based company said.

Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. has received a long-awaited air quality permit from Pennsylvania regulators to build three natural gas compressors in Susquehanna County, PA, in the heart of its Marcellus Shale operations.

The Williams Cos.’ Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco) filed an application at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Tuesday proposing to expand its system by an incremental 142,000 Dth/d of firm transportation capacity to serve growing natural gas markets in the Mid-Atlantic region by November 2012.

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to expand its system to provide 225,000 Dth/d to customers in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. The Mid-South Expansion Project is expected to be built in two phases. Phase 1 will provide 95,000 Dth/d of supply by Sept. 1, 2012; and Phase 2 will provide an additional 130,000 Dth/d by a target date of June 1, 2013. Transco said it has entered into binding precedent agreements for 100% of the increment firm transportation service to be provided by the project (see Daily GPI, May 27). The project, which Transco said would cost $216 million, involves the construction of 22.6 miles of pipeline looping on Transco’s existing mainline; a new 32,000 hp compressor station; 15,780 hp of additional compression at three existing compressor stations; and association facilities.
