Williams today announced that its Transco interstate pipeline has executed binding, 15-year commitments with Seneca Resources Company, LLC and Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation for 100 percent of the 580 million dekatherms of firm transportation capacity under its proposed Leidy South expansion project.
The project represents an expansion of vital energy infrastructure that will further connect robust supplies of natural gas in the Marcellus and Utica producing region in Pennsylvania with growing demand centers along the Atlantic Seaboard as early as the fourth quarter of 2021 assuming all necessary regulatory approvals are received in a timely manner.
Transco is the nation’s largest-volume interstate natural gas pipeline system. It delivers natural gas to customers through its approximately 10,000-mile pipeline network whose mainline extends nearly 1,800 miles between South Texas and New York City. The system is a major provider of cost-effective natural gas services that reach U.S. markets in 12 Southeast and Atlantic Seaboard states, including major metropolitan areas in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The Leidy South project is being designed to further expand the Transco pipeline’s Marcellus and Utica takeaway capacity from the Leidy Hub and Zick interconnect to points downstream in Transco’s Zone 6 market area.
