  • Pipeline Transportation and Underground
    Docket No. RP16-___-000 Exhibit No. ANR-012 Page 1 of 17 Additions to Capacity on the U.S. Natural Gas Pipeline Network: 2005 This report examines the amount of new natural gas pipeline capacity added to the U.S. natural gas pipeline system during 2005 and the areas of the country where those additions were concentrated. In addition, it discusses and analyzes proposed natural gas pipeline projects that may be developed between 2006 and 2008 and the market factors supporting these initiatives. Questions or comments on the contents of this article should be directed to James Tobin at [email protected] or (202) 586-4835. The addition to natural gas pipeline capacity in 2005 It appears, however, that 2004 and 2005 may be the bottom exceeded that of 2004 (Figure 1) although fewer miles of of a temporary trough in the natural gas pipeline development pipeline were installed (Figure 2). Miles of new natural gas activity cycle. The current inventory of announced or pipeline (1,152) were 21 percent less than in 2004, even approved natural gas pipeline projects indicates that natural though pipeline capacity grew by 8.2 billion cubic feet per gas pipeline capacity additions could increase significantly day (Bcf/d), a 7-percent increase in capacity additions (see between 2006 and 2008 (Figure 1). Several factors are Box, “Capacity Measures,” p. 4). Indeed, less new natural driving this anticipated growth, particularly the expanding gas pipeline mileage was added in 2005 than in any year development of natural gas production in the Fort Worth during the past decade.1 Basin of east Texas and the Piceance/Unita Basins of western Colorado and eastern Utah, and the need for natural gas Figure 1.

  • Westlake Expansion Project
    Office of Energy Projects February 2018 Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP Docket No. CP17-476-000 Westlake Expansion Project Environmental Assessment Washington, DC 20426 FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20426 OFFICE OF ENERGY PROJECTS In Reply Refer To: OEP/DG2E/Gas Branch 1 Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP Westlake Expansion Project Docket No. CP17-476-000 TO THE PARTY ADDRESSED: The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Westlake Expansion Project, proposed by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP (Gulf South) in the above-referenced docket. Gulf South requests authorization to construct and operate one new compressor station, two new meter and regulator (M&R) stations, and about 0.3 mile of 16-inch- diameter natural gas pipeline in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Westlake Expansion Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The proposed Westlake Expansion Project includes the following facilities: one new 10,000 horsepower compressor station (Westlake Compressor Station); 0.3 mile of 16-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline; one new delivery M&R station (Entergy Lake Charles M&R Station); and one new receipt M&R station (Varibus M&R Station). The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and groups, including commenters; and newspapers and libraries in the project area.
