Energy Transfer Partners Completes Gas Pipeline Project

Energy Transfer Partners has completed its Southeast Bossier 42-inch natural gas pipeline project in east Texas.

The $468 million Southeast Bossier pipeline consists of more than 150 miles of predominately 42-inch pipe, originating near Farrar, Texas and ending near Silsbee, Texas. The pipeline connects the partnership’s east Texas and Cleburne to Carthage pipelines with its Texoma pipeline, north of Beaumont.

This newly constructed pipeline provides producers in the Barnett Shale and Bossier Sand development plays of central and east Texas up to 900,000 million cubic feet per day of initial capacity and will bring the partnership’s total transport capacity from these expanding producing basins to more than four billion cubic feet per day.

Mike Howard, COO of midstream operations at Energy Transfer Partners, said: “We are pleased to bring this pipeline into service, as it demonstrates our ongoing commitment to provide critical intrastate transmission capacity and enhances market access to all major hubs in Texas. The Southeast Bossier pipeline solidifies Energy Transfer’s position as the largest transporter of natural gas from the Barnett Shale and the Lower Bossier Sands.”
