RBN Energy: a new bidirectional header aims to facilitate rising gas flows through Katy. Link here. Archived.
Massive volumes of mostly Permian-sourced natural gas are already
converging on the Katy, TX, area just west of Houston, and much more
will be arriving soon as planned pipelines — including the newly
proposed, 4.5-Bcf/d Solitude Pipeline System — come online in the months
and years ahead. Now, a new, bidirectional header system is being built
to help ease the flow of gas through the increasingly important Katy
Hub, which serves as a key aggregation and distribution point for gas
bound for existing and planned Gulf Coast industrial and
power-generation load as well as a slew of LNG export terminals. In
today’s RBN blog, we’ll discuss the Aspen Katy Hub project, which is
slated for startup early next year.
Consider
for a moment a conventional cloverleaf interchange where two multilane
highways intersect. It generally works well, at least as long as the
volume of car-and-truck traffic doesn’t get out of hand. But when
volumes soar and the traffic jams, highway engineers often turn to
“stacked” interchanges with several “flyover” ramps that help speed the
transfer of vehicles from one highway to the other. As it turns out, one
of the most amazing of these transportation “spaghetti bowls” is in
Katy itself, where Interstate 10 (aka the Katy Freeway) and State
Highway 99 (aka the Grand Parkway) meet.
