Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Williams Partners LP (NYSE:WPZ) (Tulsa, Oklahoma) will begin partial service of its Atlantic Sunrise natural gas pipeline today, providing 400,000 dekatherms of gas delivery from the company's mainline Transco pipeline facilities. Williams announced that it had received key permits from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the overall project, which will carry natural gas from the Marcellus Shale into the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern U.S.
The Atlantic Sunrise project is an extension of Williams' existing Transco natural gas pipeline system. The project entails the construction of approximately 183 miles of greenfield pipeline that will connect natural gas-producing regions in northeastern Pennsylvania to the Transco mainline in southeastern Pennsylvania. This will allow the Marcellus Shale gas to flow to different U.S. markets in the U.S. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the northern and southern portions of the pipeline. Including compressor stations and additional pipeline loops, the Atlantic Sunrise project has an estimated total investment value of $3 billion.
The permits in question involved water obstruction and encroachment, and erosion and sediment control from PADEP and a permit relating to the Clean Water Act from the Army Corps of Engineers. The permits allow Williams to begin the process of requesting a notice to proceed with the project from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which approved the project in February this year. The project is expected to go into full service in mid-2018. Once completed, the total project will add about 1.7 billion cubic feet of gas delivery to U.S. markets.
Williams continues to await FERC approval for another Marcellus Shale gas delivery project: the Northeast Supply Enhancement, which is another expansion of the Transco Pipeline intended to deliver gas from Pennsylvania to markets in New York, including New York City. Williams filed with FERC for the project in March this year, when the commission still did not have a quorum to approve such projects. With its newly established quorum, FERC continues wading through the backlog of such projects. The project would create 400,000 dekatherms per day of gas delivery from Pennsylvania to New York. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report on the compressor station and the largest pipeline loop, as well as June 8, 2017, article - Williams Cites Economic Benefits of Northeast Supply Enhancement Project.
