Boardwalk Pipeline Partners Announces Open Season By Texas Gas Transmission to Evaluate Demand for Additional Storage Services

Posted on: Tuesday, 29 November 2005, 12:00 CST

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP (NYSE: BWP) announced today that its subsidiary, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC, will hold a non-binding open season for firm storage service (FSS) and no-notice service (NNS).

On November 1, 2005, Texas Gas placed in-service the 8.2 TBtu storage expansion at its Midland, KY, storage field. Texas Gas Commercial Services Vice President Kathy Kirk said customers continue to show an interest in additional market area storage capacity.

"Market area storage is attractive to the marketplace and we believe our Kentucky storage fields can be expanded to meet some of the growing demand for storage services," Kirk said.

Texas Gas is proposing to drill additional wells and install compression to provide up to 90,000 Dth per day of daily deliverability and up to 6.75 TBtu of seasonal capacity. The proposed in-service date for this expansion project is November 1, 2007.

The open season for NNS and FSS begins 8 a.m. CST, Tuesday, November 29, 2005, and ends 5 p.m. CST, Friday, December 16, 2005.
