Williams Files with FERC to Expand Mighty Transco Pipe in Southeast

Last November, MDN brought you the news that pipeline giant Williams planned to proceed with a new Transco pipeline expansion project called the Southeast Supply Enhancement Project (see Transco Expansion to Add 1.4 Bcf/d Capacity to Flow M-U Gas South). The project was estimated to flow an extra 1.43 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) of Marcellus/Utica molecules southward along the Transco pipeline system, delivering those molecules to states in the southern U.S. Williams later upped the capacity to 1.587 Bcf/d (essentially from 1.4 to 1.6). Williams pre-filed with FERC earlier this year (see Williams Pre-Pre-Files for Southeast Supply Enhancement Project). On Tuesday, now a year later, Williams finally filed the full, official request with FERC to build the project. Big Green (and their high-priced lawyers) immediately jumped on the filing.
