Texas Gas Transmission Evaluates Storage Needs

By Anonymous

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners subsidiary, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC, held a binding open season Jan. 18-31 for expansion of its existing storage fields to provide additional firm storage service and no-notice service. Kathy Kirk, vice president of commercial services at Texas Gas, said responses to the nonbinding open season showed the market continues to place value on storage.

“Customers continue to show an interest in our market area storage,” Kirk said, “and we are committed to expanding our storage fields to meet the increased market demand for firm storage services.”

Texas Gas’ proposed expansion would provide up to 90,000 Dth/d of deliverability and up to 6.75 TBtu of seasonal storage capacity by drilling new wells and installing additional compression. Its proposed in-service date is Nov. 1, 2007.
