- U.S. regulators this week gave approval to pipeline operators Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) and Williams (NYSE:WMB) to start up facilities that will increase the amount of available feedgas to serve Cheniere Energy's (NYSEMKT:LNG) liquefied natural gas export terminals in Louisiana and Texas.
- In separate orders yesterday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission cleared the KMI Louisiana Pipeline's request to start up remaining facilities on its Sabine Pass Expansion Project and the WMB Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line's request to start up certain facilities on its Gulf Connector Expansion Project.
- The Sabine Pass Expansion is designed to bring 600M cf/day of capacity to flow southbound on existing pipeline facilities for delivery to Cheniere's Louisiana export terminal in Cameron Parish, while the Gulf Connector Expansion is designed to provide 475M cf/day of incremental firm transportation capacity to several interconnections, including with Cheniere's Corpus Christi Pipeline in Texas.
