Sempra Infrastructure places Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector online

Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra, has placed its 2-bcfd Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector project into service.

With capital expenditures under $1 billion, the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector includes 72-miles of 42-in. OD pipeline, a compressor station in Beauregard Parish, La., and associated above and below ground infrastructure.

The project will supply natural gas to Sempra’s 13-million tonne/year (tpy) Port Arthur LNG plant under construction in Port Arthur, Tex.   

Sempra said the pipeline also “strengthens domestic energy networks by interconnecting with Sempra Infrastructure's Gillis Hub Pipeline, a highly connected natural gas pipeline header system in Southwest Louisiana's energy corridor.”

The pipeline connects to Sempra Infrastructure's LA Storage infrastructure currently under construction to aid in transportation to and from natural gas storage capacity along the Gulf Coast.
