RBN Energy: Enbridge's proposed West Texas Express would move natural gas to El Paso and beyond. Link here. Archived.
Enbridge has launched a non-binding open season for West Texas Express, a 150-mile, 2-Bcf/d pipeline that would move Permian natural gas from the Waha Hub to near El Paso. The proposed pipeline, which is targeted for a 2029 startup, is aimed at meeting local power demand, potentially including data centers, while also providing connectivity to markets in the U.S. Southwest and Mexico. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll discuss what the greenfield pipeline would mean for gas flows in West Texas and beyond.
First, let’s discuss the proposed line. Enbridge is seeking shipper commitments for West Texas Express (WTX), a 42-inch greenfield intrastate natural gas pipeline (dashed yellow line in Figure 1 below) with receipt points near the Waha Hub and delivery points in the greater El Paso area. The project could also include lateral facilities serving Hudspeth County, TX, and delivery points at the U.S.-Mexico border. The company intends to build infrastructure or a connection point in Hudspeth (green square). According to a statement from Enbridge, WTX can be designed to connect with existing pipeline infrastructure based on customer requirements identified through the open season.
