Spectra Energy Corp.’s Texas Eastern Transmission LP is holding an open season through Jan. 15 for the Texas Eastern Appalachia to Market Expansion 2013 (TEAM 2013), a proposed expansion of its system to deliver additional Appalachian and Marcellus Shale gas to the Northeast.

The TEAM 2013 open season is in addition to the previously announced TEAM 2012 expansion, which will offer customers up to 300 MMcf/d of capacity by the fourth quarter of 2012 (see Daily GPI, Nov. 18). TEAM 2013, with an estimated late 2013 in-service date, will target an expansion of 500 MMcf/d. The project will be scalable and sized to meet customer needs.

Shippers will have the opportunity to nominate services from multiple existing and proposed receipt points on the Texas Eastern system within the Appalachian and Marcellus Shale production regions to delivery points across Texas Eastern’s market area.

“As development of the Appalachian and Marcellus production regions increases, Texas Eastern will continue to develop expansion projects, like TEAM 2012 and TEAM 2013, that are timed and sized to meet customer needs, enabling them to address their growth requirements and get their supplies to market,” said Bob Riga, Spectra Energy Transmission general manager.
