Tellurian subsidiary Permian Global Access Pipeline LLC (PGAP), Houston, is holding a binding open season to secure prospective shippers for a proposed 42-in. interstate natural gas pipeline connecting the Permian basin in Texas to southwestern Louisiana.
The proposed pipeline will extend 625 miles with the capacity to transport 2 bcfd of gas. With multiple receipt and delivery locations connecting multiple common gathering points and third-party pipelines expected, the pipeline will connect supply sources originating at or near the Waha Hub in Pecos County, Tex., and will deliver gas near Gillis, Jefferson, and Davis parishes in Louisiana.
At a cost of $3.7 billion, construction is projected to begin as early as 2021 with an in-service target as early as 2023.
PGAP is part of Tellurian’s proposed Tellurian Pipeline Network and incremental to the $15.2-billion investment that Tellurian plans for Driftwood LNG, a proposed LNG export facility near Lake Charles, La. (OGJ Online, Nov. 17, 2017).
Pres. and Chief Executive Officer Meg Gentle said, “Permian producers have recently paid $9/MMbtu to move their natural gas away from the wellhead, reflecting the acute need for infrastructure development in the basin. By contrast, Southwest Louisiana is a market expected to grow 300% in the next 5 years.”
The open begins at noon local time on Apr. 8 and runs through May 24 at 4 p.m.
