HOUSTON, Apr. 23 -- TEPPCO Partners LP has announced a $45 million expansion of the Jonah natural gas gathering and transportation system in Wyoming. The project will increase the gathering capacity of the Pinedale field lateral as well as the Jonah system's mainline capacity.
The Pinedale field lateral's capacity will be increased to 250 MMcfd from 55 MMcfd. Mainline capacity of the Jonah system will be increased to 880 MMcfd from 730 MMcfd to handle growth from Pinedale field and significantly reduce operating pressures on the gathering lines in Jonah field.
The expansion will include installation of 43 miles of 20-in. and 24-in. diameter pipe, 9,000 hp of compression, and enhanced liquids handling facilities at two compressor stations. The project is expected to be completed and in service in fourth quarter 2002.
Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Co. LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Duke Energy Field Services LLC, is the general partner of TEPPCO Partners LP. Duke Energy Field Services LLC operates the Jonah system, which gathers natural gas from the Green River basin in southwestern Wyoming.
