As proposed, the NYMarc project will interconnect with both the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company in Sussex County, New Jersey and the Millennium Pipeline Company in Orange County, New York and traverse a northeasterly route of approximately 66 miles in length before tying into Iroquois mainline in Pleasant Valley, New York.
NYMarc project is expected to provide producers in the Marcellus Shale access to Iroquois existing marketplace and the opportunity to supply greater than 1bcf/d of northeast market demand. NYMarc will also afford Marcellus producers the opportunity to supply gas markets in eastern Canada, as well as growth markets in New York city through Iroquois existing pipeline system.
Scott Rupff, vice president of marketing, development, and commercial operations at Iroquois, said: “As development of the Marcellus Shale continues, one of the pivotal issues facing producers will be optimization of capital investment in transportation infrastructure out of the basin so as to create the greatest value for the gas that they are producing.
“Iroquois NYMarc project will provide producers with access to one of the highest priced markets in North America while benefiting Iroquois existing customer base by augmenting their current access to the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and Dawn, Ontario Hub.”
