January 13 2017 - 08:00AM
Business Wire
Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) announced today that it
delivered a record amount of natural gas on its Transco interstate
gas pipeline to meet demand driven by recent cold weather
conditions in Transco’s market area that includes the U.S. Eastern
Seaboard.
The nation’s largest-volume natural gas transmission system,
Transco delivered a record-breaking 13.7 million dekatherms (MMdt)
on Jan. 8. The new peak-day mark surpasses the previous high of
13.5 MMdt that was set on Jan. 7, 2015.
The Transco system, which stretches from South Texas to New York
City, also established a new three-day market area delivery record
Jan. 7-9, averaging 13.6 MMdt (eclipsing the previous three-day
peak of 12.9 MMdt).
Completed expansions to the Transco system in 2015 and 2016
contributed to the new volume records in early January. Virginia
Southside (250,000 dekatherms per day or dth/d), Northeast
Connector (100,000 dth/d), Mobile Bay South III (225,000 dth/d),
Leidy Southeast (525,000 dth/d) and Rock Springs (192,000 dth/d)
have all been placed in service in the last 22 months to serve
customers’ demand for power generation, industries and local
distribution.
Construction is already underway on the Garden State, Gulf
Trace, Dalton, Hillabee (Phase 1) and Virginia Southside II
expansion projects that will add even more capacity during
2017.
