DTE Midstream, a non-utility business of DTE Energy has started operation of its Louisiana Energy Access Project (LEAP) natural gas gathering system, having introduced test gas last week. The 150-mile, 36-in. OD gathering pipeline connects Louisiana’s Haynesville basin to the Gulf Coast for power generation, industrial use, and liquefaction for export.
The LEAP gathering system was part of DTE’s fourth-quarter 2019 acquisition of Momentum Midstream’s Louisiana assets (OGJ Online, Oct. 18, 2019).
LEAP is fully contracted under long-term, demand charge agreements. Current capacity is 1 bcfd but is expandable given market opportunities.
