Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Pipeline developer Williams Companies Incorporated (Tulsa, Oklahoma) enjoyed strong results for first-quarter 2025, as a string of recently commissioned projects expanded the company's customer base. Executives said Williams has a host of high-return projects under development, including three major programs underway across the U.S. Southwest. Industrial Info is tracking more than $3.8 billion worth of active and planned projects from Williams, roughly half of which is attributed to natural gas pipelines.

"Our project execution team continues to deliver on projects throughout this year, starting construction on another expansion in the southeast on Transco, the LEG project in Haynesville and, out west, on our Overthrust Westbound Expansion," said Alan Armstrong, the chief executive officer of Williams, in a recent quarterly earnings-related conference call. "These projects represent nearly 2 billion cubic feet per day coming online for the balance of this year."
As part of its sprawling Transcontinental Gas Pipeline System (Transco), which covers much of the U.S. Southeast, Williams is developing its Southeast Energy Connector in Alabama, which is designed to support the state's shift from coal to natural gas for power generation. The company is adding 150 million cubic feet per day to Transco in Alabama, with much of the new capacity already in service; Williams is still at work on a $16 million pipeline loop between Coosa and Chilton counties, which runs about 2.8 miles, and modifications to compressor stations 95 in Marion Junction, 100 in Billingsley and 105 in Rockford.
"As the dynamics and the demand continue to grow across the footprint on Transco, we're finding new opportunities left and right," said Larry Larson, the chief operating officer of Williams, in the May 6 earnings call. He noted the company is "seeing continued growth throughout the southeast markets, as well as along the Gulf, as we see rapid growth in the LNG [liquefied natural gas] space." Subscribers can read detailed reports on the pipeline loop and modifications to stations 95, 100 and 105.
In the Haynesville Shale, which straddles eastern Texas and northwestern Louisiana, Williams is developing the Louisiana Energy Gateway (LEG) System, a 174-mile line that will carry 1.8 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas to Williams' Mainstay and Transcontinental pipeline systems. The gas then will be sent to industrial markets and LNG terminals across southern Louisiana. The $30 million line will be supported by $20 million compressor stations near Bethany and DeRidder, Louisiana.
John Porter, the chief financial officer for Williams, said in the earnings call that the LEG project "is proceeding very well, with expected completion in third-quarter 2025." The project got a significant boost last year, when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ruled it would not be regulated as an interstate pipeline, rejecting an argument from rival Energy Transfer LP (Dallas, Texas). Subscribers can read detailed reports on the LEG pipeline, Bethany station and Deridder station.
In Wyoming, Williams continues to work on the Westbound Compression Expansion for its MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline (MWOP), which will add about 325 million standard cubic feet per day of capacity to the MWOP by the end of the year. The project involves $18 million in modifications to the Roberson Creek Natural Gas Compressor Station near Opal, an area Williams calls "a major regional natural gas hub," a $55 million unit addition to a compressor station near Point Of Rocks, and a $45 million unit addition to a compressor station near Rock Springs.
Armstrong noted in the earnings call that the MWOP project is part of a broader regional trend: "We were very surprised, over the last four or five months, how many new projects have started to emerge out west as they realize how much they need power in those markets." Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Opal, Point of Rocks and Rock Springs projects.
Williams' net income for first-quarter 2025 was reported to be $690 million, a 9.35% increase from first-quarter 2024, while total revenues were reported to be $3.05 billion, a 10% increase.
