The company will construct a 25-mile, 20-inch gas pipeline with related lateral gathering lines and convert an existing dry pipeline system to rich gas service in order to gather the Swift Energy gas for processing.
The pipeline system is expected to commence operations in mid-2011.
It will originate in McMullen County and extend to Southcross’ CCNG Transmission pipeline for gas delivery to and processing at Southcross’ processing plant near Gregory, Texas.
The McMullen pipeline extension will have an initial expandable capacity of 120 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
Southcross is a midstream natural gas firm engaged in the purchase and sale, pipeline transportation, gathering and processing of natural gas in South Texas, Mississippi and Alabama.
