HOUSTON, Jan. 25 -- A unit of Williams Cos. Inc., Tulsa, chose Paragon Engineering Services Inc., Houston, to coordinate its application with the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to build the proposed Western Frontier Pipeline.

Western Frontier Pipeline LLC is tendering for the engineering contract for the line; Paragon is participating in that tender.

The proposed 400-mile, 30-in. Western Frontier line would transport up to 540,000 decatherms/day from the Cheyenne Hub in northeastern Colorado to Williams' Central pipeline system and various other pipeline interconnects in southwest Kansas and the panhandle of Oklahoma. (OGJ Online, Oct. 25, 2001).

Williams previously said it hopes to bring the pipeline in service by Nov. 1, 2003.

Paragon recently completed a similar filing for Williams' Sundance pipeline, using a proprietary pipeline database mapping system, photographs, surveys, environmental assessments, and wetlands delineations.
