TransCanada will be allowed to increase the flow of gas on its Mountaineer XPress project and begin operating its Gulf XPress project thanks to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s approval of the full in-service of the Mountaineer XPress project, according to Gas Compression Magazine.
“Mountaineer XPress and Gulf XPress are extremely important to TransCanada as they provide much-needed takeaway capacity for our customers, while also growing our extensive footprint in the Appalachian Basin,” said TransCanada President and Chief Executive Officer Russ Girling.
The Mountaineer XPress includes 165 miles of new pipeline and three compressor stations. The project is meant to provide takeaway capacity in the Marcellus and Utica shale gas production areas of West Virginia to reach markets in the Midwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, and Gulf Coast.
