RBN Energy: Boardwalks Kosci Junction to reorder deep south gas flows. Link here. Archived here.
All roads lead to Louisiana in the natural gas market, and those roads have become increasingly crowded as LNG demand sucks in gas from other states, increasing competition for supply and raising reliability concerns for downstream utility customers. Despite being home to most of the Haynesville, the country’s third-largest gas production basin, Louisiana has been bringing in more gas from the north as demand surges, an arrangement that will change drastically in just a few years. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll discuss Boardwalk Pipelines’ Kosci Junction project and how it will impact the gas market in Louisiana, Mississippi and beyond.
Boardwalk announced more than a year ago that it had reached a final investment decision (FID) on the Kosciusko Junction Pipeline Project (known by the shortened form of “Kosci Junction,” in contrast to the typical gas-market spelling of “Kosi”). The project (dashed pink line in Figure 1 below) is scheduled to be completed in 2029 and consists primarily of 103 miles of new 36-inch-diameter pipeline in Mississippi to connect Boardwalk’s Gulf South Pipeline system (yellow lines) to its existing Texas Gas Transmission pipeline (TGT; dark-green line) via the Greenville Lateral (light-green line), plus an 8-mile lateral to Columbia Gulf Transmission (CGT; light-blue line) at Inverness and multiple compressor stations. The Greenville Lateral, as well as the lateral to CGT, will be integrated into the Kosci Junction expansion. Kosci Junction is designed to help Southeastern markets reach farther back into the supply stack, reducing their reliance on constrained Gulf Coast pathways and mitigating head-to-head competition with LNG for the same molecules. In filling this supply to the Southeast, it will indirectly affect the way southern Louisiana is supplied.
