HOUSTON, Oct. 14 -- East Tennessee Natural Gas plans to have added 95 MMcfd of contracted long-term, firm capacity on its pipeline system in the Central Appalachian basin by yearend.

Spectra Energy Partners LP, Houston, said its ETNG affiliate has placed the Glade Spring project into service in southwestern Virginia.

With the improvements to the Glade Spring compressor station and related facilities, contracts associated with the project took effect on Oct. 1. Glade Spring is just south of ETNG's Saltville gas storage field.

The CNX and Greenway/Nora projects, also in southwestern Virginia, are expected to be available for service on Nov. 1 and Dec. 1, respectively.

Transportation services under the three contracts increase to 134 MMcfd in 2010.
