These firm services, available beginning April 1, 2008, include up to four billion cubic feet of high-deliverability, multi-cycle working gas capacity with a maximum of six inventory cycles per year, intraday load following and hourly balancing (LFHB) and gas transportation services via Falcon’s 60-mile high-pressure gas transmission Worsham-Steed pipeline, the company said.
Traversing the Jack, Parker and Hood counties, the Worsham-Steed pipeline delivers Barnett shale gas to export markets through interconnects with the Atmos Line-X and Enterprise-Energy Transfer North Texas pipelines.
Falcon’s LFHB service is a firm hourly balancing service tailored for the power generation market in Texas, managing 24-hour ratable gas flows with hourly peak and off-peak gas-fired electric power dispatch.
NorTex noted that the LFHB service allows shippers to inject gas into Falcon facilities off-peak for any hourly period and withdraw gas during peak power demand periods for any hourly period.
