HOUSTON, Sept. 10 -- Transwestern Pipeline, a subsidiary of Enron Corp., Houston, said it has received requests for more than 1.3 bcfd of capacity on its proposed Sun Devil Pipeline expansion project.
The proposed 400-mile line would bring gas from New Mexico's San Juan basin to market in Phoenix, Ariz., and to California by January 2004, said Transwestern.
Steve Harris, vice-president of Transwestern Pipeline's commercial group, said, "Sun Devil is an important project that will serve the gas-fired electric generation market in Arizona, which is the second largest growth market in the US."
Transwestern is working with shippers to finalize transportation agreements. It plans to apply with the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission early next year.
The company also said its Red Rock pipeline project will make 150 MMcfd of gas capacity available for delivery into California in mid-2002.
