- Tallgrass Energy: Rockies Express Pipeline (REX)
- brought on-line January 6, 2017: the last 350 MMcf/d of its 800-MMcf/d Zone 3 Capacity Enhancement Project
- boosted east-to-west takeaway capacity out of Ohio to 2.6 Bcf/d (~ 400,00 boe/d), up 45% from 1.8 Bcf/d previously
- fully-subscribed
- designed to serve Marcellus / Utica
- filled up almost instantaneously
- But note this:
- Northeast production did not increase! The natural gas came from other pipeliness.
- all Marcellus / Utica pipelines have at least partially reversed flows, but REX Zone 3 has been most significant
- huge volume
- 15-plus interconnects with major long-haul pipelines
Implication: Northeast pipelines are going to be competing for supply; REX appears to have the advantage.
