EXPANSION Projects

 

 

Unconventional gas is the engine behind Boardwalk's growth.  Boardwalk is in the process of building approximately 1,000 miles of pipe to reach new supplies of unconventional gas from the Barnett Shale, the Bossier Sands, the Haynesville Shale, the Caney/Woodford Shale, and the Fayetteville Shale.  In doing so, Boardwalk will almost double the amount of gas carried by its systems.

 

Boardwalk has announced four projects:

 

  1. East Texas to Mississippi Expansion (shown in green on the map below)
  2. Southeast Expansion (yellow)
  3. Gulf Crossing Pipeline (red)
  4. Fayetteville and Greenville Laterals (blue and purple)

 

The first two projects are Gulf South's, and the third will be a new interstate pipeline.  These will be discussed below.  The fourth project belongs to Texas Gas, Gulf South's sister company.  Please refer to the hyperlink above for more information on the Fayteetville and Greenville Laterals.

Gulf South and Gulf Crossing projects

 

As mentioned above, the first three projects are interlinked: 

 

  • Part of the Gulf South system, the East Texas to Mississippi Expansion (green) is designed to pick up gas from the Barnett Shale and the Bossier Sands.  At its starting point in Carthage, Texas, it will aggregate deliveries from intra-state pipelines and carry gas through Perryville, Louisiana.  Perryville is an emerging hub, or interconnection point with other pipelines including Columbia Gas Transmission and Boardwalk’s Texas Gas Transmission system.  The East Texas to Mississippi Expansion continues from Perryville and terminates at Harrisville, Mississippi, where the gas can continue along the Southeast Expansion.

 

  • The Gulf Crossing Pipeline (red) will be a newly-created interstate pipeline and Boardwalk’s newest operating subsidiary.  It is designed to carry gas from the Barnett and Caney/Woodford Shales.  Intra-state pipelines will deliver the gas to Gulf Crossing at Sherman, Texas and from there it will travel to Perryville where the gas can be dropped off to other pipelines or continue along the previously discussed East Texas to Mississippi Expansion.

 

  • Part of the Gulf South system, the Southeast Expansion (yellow) is designed to carry gas from the Perryville Hub, Gulf Crossing, and the East Texas to Mississippi Expansion.  It originates at Harrisville, Mississippi and terminates at Station 85 of the Transcontinental Pipeline, a major pipeline to the Northeast.

 

Together, these projects provide shippers with access to multiple hubs and other pipeline interconnections so that gas can be transported to diverse markets in the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast and Florida.
