The project is designed to create 253,500 dekatherms of southbound, year-round firm transportation capacity on the Mobile Bay Lateral from Transco’s mainline at Station 85 near Butler, Ala., to its interconnect with Gulfstream natural gas system in Coden, Alabama.
“We appreciate the efforts of the FERC and other state and federal agencies in reviewing this application,” said Phil Wright, president of Williams Companies’ natural gas pipeline business.
“The Mobile Bay South project will enable us to provide firm southbound transportation service for growing domestic supplies from new pipeline interconnects at Station 85 to markets in Southwest Alabama and Florida, as well as third-party storage facilities, while maintaining the full capability of the lateral to supply our traditional customers through northbound service to Station 85.”
The Mobile Bay South project will need construction of a new 9,470 horsepower compressor facility at station 85 in Choctaw County, Alabama. The company estimates that the project facilities will cost around $37 million.
