A 423.4-MMcf/d capacity Transco pipeline expansion project in North Carolina and Virginia has gone into service, the Williams Cos. (WMB) announced Dec. 30.
The Southside Reliability Enhancement project is a modernization and expansion of Williams’ Transco line in the region and will provide enough gas to heat about 2 million residences in the winter, according to the company’s website.
The company met its original deadline for the project’s in-service date.
“The recent frigid conditions across the Northeast are an important reminder of the vital role transmission pipelines play in delivering the natural gas necessary to keep millions of Americans safe and secure, especially during winter periods of peak demand,” said Alan Armstrong, WMB president and CEO.
The company discussed the need for the project, reporting record natural gas demand on its pipeline in the region over the last few months. Transco hit an all-time peak day Dec. 22 with a total volume of 17.77 Bcf, which surpassed the previous peak day set on Dec. 6, according to the announcement.
Following the expansion, Transco capacity has increased to 19.9 Bcf/d. Transco is a 10,200-mile natural gas system that extends from South Texas to New York City.
