Business Wire
Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) today reported that
construction is nearing completion on the Atlantic Sunrise pipeline
project – a critical expansion of the existing Transco natural gas
pipeline to connect abundant Marcellus gas supplies with markets in
the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern U.S.
The project sponsors report that the project is targeted for
mechanical completion beginning in August 2018, with full service
(1.7 billion cubic feet per day) anticipated to commence in the
second half of August 2018, assuming timely receipt of the
remaining regulatory approvals. A portion of the mainline component
of the project (550 million cubic feet per day) has already been
placed into service.
The mechanical completion date is based upon current contractor
schedules and may be affected by weather.
Greenfield construction on the Pennsylvania portion of the
project began in September 2017. The project has featured the
installation of approximately 200 miles of large diameter pipeline,
two greenfield compressor stations and compressor station
modifications in five states. The segment of the project known as
the Central Penn Line will be jointly owned by Transco and a third
party.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) authorized the
project in February 2017, concluding that environmental impacts
associated with the project would be reduced to “less than
significant levels” with the implementation of mitigation measures
proposed by the company and FERC.
