- Mountaineer XPress natural gas pipeline project
- will link the Appalachian basin's natural gas supplies with global markets
- $3.2 billion project
- 170-mile pipeline in West Virginia
- will increase natural gas capacity by 2.7 billion cfpd (333,000 boe)
- approval will allow TransCanada to start partial in-service of its Gulf Xpress Project, a network of seven new compressor stations in KY, TN, and MS
- will significantly increase the reach of low-cost, US-produced NG from the Appalachian Basin
- investment in Gulf XPress: $600 million
- Gulf XPress: additional capacity of 530,000 million cfpd (sic) -- I wonder if that isn't supposed to be 530 million (or 530,000 mcfpd)?
In mid-February, TransCanada said it had revised upward its project costs for the Mountaineer XPress project to US$3.2 billion, due to delays in regulatory approvals from FERC and other agencies, higher contractor costs due to unusually high demand for construction resources in the region, inclement weather during construction, and changes in contractor work plans to mitigate delays.Something tells me the delays occurred "under" the previous administration.
