Enterprise Products to Carry More Natural Gas From Haynesville

Read MoreHide Full Article

Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPD - Free Report) announced that it will expand its Acadian natural gas pipeline system. Thus, it plans to capitalize on the mounting demand for transporting growing natural gas volume to key LNG markets in South Louisiana from the prolific Haynesville Shale.

The to-be-constructed pipeline will spread over 80 miles and is expected to transport natural gas to third-party interconnects —located near Gillis, LA —from a place near Cheneyville, LA. Notably, the partnership’s new system will connect several pipeline networks that are providing services to export facilities of LNG located in south Louisiana and southeast Texas. Enterprise Products stated that the development will include the increase in horsepower at its Mansfield compressor station in De Soto Parish.

Once the expansion project comes online, likely in mid-2021, the Acadian pipeline system will be capable of transporting natural gas volume from Haynesville Shale at a rate of 2.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/D), higher than the current rate of 1.8 Bcf/D. Enterprise Products added that the new project has already been backed by long-term contracts of shippers.

Thus, the partnership secured additional fee-based revenues, further strengthening its stable business model.
