(Source: Datamonitor)Regency Energy Partners, Alinda Capital Partners and an affiliate of GE Energy Financial Services have announced that construction of the Haynesville Expansion Project has been completed and that they are completing testing and commissioning.
The 121-mile Haynesville Expansion Project in north Louisiana, expected to be completed under budget, will reportedly transport gas from the Haynesville Shale, one of the fastest growing US natural gas fields.
The Haynesville Expansion Project, in conjunction with the Red River Lateral, more than doubles the Regency Intrastate Gas System in north Louisiana by adding approximately 1.2bcf/d of capacity to the system. Both projects are expected to be ready for service and flowing gas concurrently, the companies said.
Byron Kelley, chairman, president and CEO of Regency, said: "The 36-inch portion of the pipe flowed its first receipt gas in November 2009, and the 42-inch portion of the pipe on the eastern end of the system will be ready for service and flowing gas within the next two weeks."
