Williams (WMB) will add Colorado’s “premium-growth” Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin to its oil and natural gas midstream portfolio in a joint venture (JV) with KKR & Co. to buy Discovery DJ Services from TPG Growth in a $1.173 billion deal, the Tulsa-based company said Monday.

Responding to a “resurgence in activity” in the Powder River Basin (PRB) of Wyoming, Williams Partners LP and Crestwood Equity Partners LP are planning to expand their jointly owned Jackalope Gas Gathering System and associated Bucking Horse gas processing facility, Williams said Wednesday.

Williams Partners LP said late Wednesday construction on the 1.7 Bcf/d Atlantic Sunrise pipeline project is expected to be completed in August, with full service slated to begin by the end of the month.

Pipeline giants Williams and Enbridge Inc. on Thursday announced they are simplifying their corporate structures in reaction to a FERC ruling in March that removed master limited partnership (MLP) tax benefits. Natural gas exporter Cheniere Energy Inc. also said it wants to acquire its partnership.

Williams said Wednesday Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC (Transco) has refiled for a Section 401 water quality certification (WQC) for its Northeast Supply Enhancement Projectwith the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), which last month denied the initial application.

The Williams management team sees increased producer activity in wetter natural gas plays like the Eagle Ford Shale of Texas and the Wamsutter field and portions of the Powder River Basin in Wyoming driving volume growth for the remainder of the year and into 2019, and CEO Alan Armstrong is hinting at several projects set for announcement later this month.

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC (Transco) vowed Monday to refile for a water quality certification (WQC) for its Northeast Supply Enhancement Project after the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) denied its application.

Williams Partners LP said Thursday Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco) has filed an application with FERC seeking authorization for its Southeastern Trail expansion project, which would open up more capacity to meet rising natural gas demand in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC (Transco) on Friday received authorization from FERC to place into service the second phase of facilities for the Garden State Expansion project, which would provide 180,000 Dth/d of incremental firm capacity in Burlington and Mercer counties, NJ.
