Williams Companies Inc. (WMB) said that it has placed an expansion of its Transco natural gas pipeline system into service, increasing firm transportation capacity into the northeastern United States by 102,000 dekatherms per day.
The Transco pipeline is a 10,500-mile pipeline system, which transports natural gas to markets throughout the northeastern and southeastern United States. This expansion increases the total system capacity of the Transco pipeline to approximately 8.6 billion cubic feet per day.
The Sentinel expansion project was completed in two phases. The first phase of the project, which was placed into service in December 2008, increased capacity by 40,000 dekatherms per day.
The second phase was placed into service this week and increased capacity by 102,000 dekatherms per day.
