HOUSTON, May 7 -- Falcon Gas Storage Co. Inc., Houston, has scheduled an open season May 10-28 to measure customer interest for expanded capacity at its Hill-Lake gas storage facility 100 miles east of Dallas, Tex., in Eastland County.
Falcon has had previous open seasons for Phase II capacity, said Jeff Foutch, Falcon's executive vice-president. He noted that market sentiment appears to have shifted in favor of longer-term contracts.
Falcon converted Hill-Lake into a high deliverability, multi-cycle facility after acquiring it from TXU Lone Star Pipeline Co., Dallas (OGJ Online, Apr. 3, 2001).
Incremental peak-day injection and withdrawal capacity each could be increased by 150 MMcfd, bringing Hill-Lake's total peak-day withdrawal capacity to 300 MMcfd and total peak-day injection capacity to 300 MMcfd.
A Phase III expansion is in the planning stages to increase Hill-Lake's total peak-day injection and withdrawal capacity to 450 MMcfd each.
