HOUSTON, June 22 -- Williams Cos., Tulsa, has called a 30-day open season to determine shipper interest in a $180 million expansion of its Transco natural gas pipeline system from Leidy, Penn., to delivery points in New York and New Jersey.

Under the proposal, pending Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval, Williams, would provide an additional 150 MMcfd of new capacity by November 2007.

The project has two primary paths in Transco's Zone 6, with 100 MMcfd being offered from the Leidy hub to Long Island in Suffolk County, NY, and an additional 50,000 MMcfd from Leidy to Transco's Station 210 pooling point.
