HOUSTON, Apr. 18 -- Sempra Pipelines & Storage has launched an open season to solicit market interest in capacity on its proposed Cameron Interstate Pipeline project in Louisiana.
Sempra plans to build the 35-mile pipeline to connect its Cameron LNG receiving terminal with interstate systems.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved the pipeline design. The certificate authorizes deliveries of 1.5 bcfd of natural gas, although the approved design is capable of delivering 1.8 bcfd. Depending on results of the open season, the project permit may be modified to accommodate more capacity.
The Cameron Interstate Pipeline is expected to be operational in mid-2008, the planned in-service date of the Cameron LNG terminal.
Sempra is accepting nonbinding requests for service until May 2.
