Energy Transfer LP has received US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval to place its 1.65-bcfd Gulf Run natural gas pipeline into service. The 42-in. OD pipeline runs 135 miles through Louisiana from the Haynesville shale toward the US Gulf Coast.
In addition to transporting Haynesville output, Gulf Run will use interconnects with other Energy Transfer pipes to carry gas produced in the Permian basin, Barnett shale, Marcellus and Utica shales, and Arkoma and Anadarko basins.
The pipeline consists of two zones. Zone 1 connects the Carthage Hub to Perryville, La., markets, and Zone 2 extends south and connects to the 2.5-bcfd Golden Pass pipeline and Energy Transfer’s 1.5-bcfd Trunkline system. Zone 1 is bidirectional between Perryville and its Westdale, La., interconnect with Zone 2, allowing southbound transport of Perryville volumes as well.
Golden Pass is a 69-mile long, FERC-regulated interstate pipeline that interconnects with several interstate and intrastate pipelines and storage sites enroute to the 18-million tonne/year Golden Pass LNG plant being developed by QatarEnergy and ExxonMobil Corp. in Sabine Pass, Tex. It is expected to enter service in 2024.
