HOUSTON, May 22 -- Horizon Pipeline Co., Houston, has put into service its new $80 million natural gas pipeline in northern Illinois. Construction began in November 2001 on gas compression facilities in Joliet and 28 miles of 36-in. pipeline. The line connects to an existing 46-mile system leased from Houston-based Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America (NGPL).
The new 380 MMcfd capacity system connects the emerging supply hub at Joliet with the northern part of the Nicor Gas distribution system and NGPL's pipeline system.
Horizon Pipeline is a joint venture of Nicor-Horizon, a subsidiary of Nicor Inc., Naperville, Ill., and NGPL, a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Inc., Houston.
