Williams said Thursday it has successfully concluded three open seasons, for two expansions of its system and for the proposed Rockies Connector Pipeline.

The open season for Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line’s (Transco) Pascagoula expansion ended Sept. 7. Transco has subscribed the entire capacity offered, 467,390 Dth/d, from a new interconnect with the proposed Gulf LNG Clean Energy import terminal at Pascagoula, MS, to Transco’s Station 85 pool. The project includes a new 15-mile pipeline from Pascagoula to Transco’s Mobile Bay lateral. The target in-service date for the project is October 2011 (see Daily GPI, Aug. 13).

The open season for Transco’s 85 North expansion project ended Oct. 31, and the pipeline received requests for capacity exceeding the proposed project size of 250,000 Dth/d. The project will provide customers in the Southeast with access to growing supplies at Station 85. The target in-service date for the 85 North project is May 2011 (see Daily GPI, Sept. 19).

Requests exceeding capacity also were submitted for the Rockies Connector Pipeline (see Daily GPI, Nov. 1; Sept. 27).

Williams said it is in the process of negotiating precedent agreements with parties that have expressed interest in Rockies Connector and the 85 North expansion. Additionally, open seasons are under way for two more projects. The open season for Transco’s Northeast Connector expansion ends Monday (Nov. 5), and the open season for its Mobile Bay South expansion ends Nov. 16.
