Both Pipelines Deliver Natural Gas to the Texas-Mexico Border as Part
of Long-Term Agreements with Mexico’s Federal Electricity Commission
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2017--
Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP) announced today that two
natural gas pipelines in West Texas, the Trans-Pecos Pipeline and the
Comanche Trail Pipeline, and the Trans-Pecos Pipeline WAHA Header (WAHA
Header) are in service. Both pipelines and the WAHA Header are owned by
affiliates of ETP, Carso Energy Corp. and MasTec, Inc. as part of
long-term agreements with the Comisión Federal de Electricidad, Mexico’s
federal electricity commission, to transport natural gas from the Waha
Hub in Pecos County, Texas to the Texas-Mexico border.
The Comanche Trail Pipeline and the WAHA Header went into service as
scheduled on January 30, 2017. The 42-inch intrastate pipeline traverses
195 miles through Pecos, Reeves, Culberson, Hudspeth, and El Paso
counties to the Texas-Mexico border in San Elizario, Texas, just south
of El Paso, Texas. The Comanche Trail Pipeline is designed to transport
1.1 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas and presently includes
seven delivery taps along its route for local economic development
opportunities. The WAHA Header, located near the Waha Hub, is designed
to accommodate 6 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas and connects
to more than 10 different natural gas pipelines.
The Trans-Pecos Pipeline went into service as scheduled on March 31,
2017. The 148-mile, 42-inch intrastate pipeline traverses Pecos,
Brewster and Presidio counties and terminates at the Texas border near
Presidio, Texas. The Trans-Pecos Pipeline is designed to transport 1.4
billion cubic feet per day of natural gas and presently includes six
local delivery taps along its route.
Additionally, the Trans-Pecos Pipeline entered into a cooperative effort
to help West Texas Gas and the City of Presidio offset construction
costs of a new pipeline that will connect to the Trans-Pecos Pipeline
and deliver natural gas to the newly established Presidio Industrial
Park. The new lateral pipeline is expected to be in service by June 2017.
