據管道&天然氣雜志網3月16日報道，根據美國能源信息署（EIA）的天然氣管道項目跟蹤系統顯示，從2020年11月到2021年1月，約有44億立方英尺/天的天然氣管道新輸送量投入使用。

目前已建成并投入使用的項目有4個:

Saginaw Trail管道

Consumer能源公司6.1億美元的州內Saginaw Trail管道于2020年11月底投入使用。該項目替換并擴建了密歇根州薩吉諾（Saginaw）、Genesse和奧克蘭縣（Oakland Counties）的天然氣管道和基礎設施，使天然氣輸送量增加了2億立方英尺/天。

Buckeye Xpress項目

哥倫比亞天然氣輸送公司(CGT)的Buckeye Xpress項目于2020年12月開始運營。這個耗資7.09億美元的項目涉及基礎設施的改善，并在俄亥俄州和西弗吉尼亞州用更可靠的36英寸管道替換了66英里的現有天然氣管道。該項目提高了從阿巴拉契亞盆地到肯塔基州Leach的CGT互連和西弗吉尼亞州TCO Pool的運輸能力。

二疊紀高速管道

金德摩根的二疊紀高速管道（PHP）于1月初投入使用。這條長達430英里的管道從位于德克薩斯州西部的Waha樞紐中心（靠近二疊紀盆地的生產活動）輸送至墨西哥灣沿岸的德克薩斯州Katy的每天天然氣輸送量增加21億立方英尺。其與墨西哥有更多的連接。

阿瓜布蘭卡（Agua Blanca）擴建項目

Whitewater/MPLX的Agua Blanca擴建項目已于1月下旬投入使用，與Delaware盆地的近20個天然氣加工廠連接。此外，其還向西德克薩斯州的Waha樞紐輸送18億立方英尺/天的天然氣。該項目還將連接惠斯勒（Whistler）管道，該管道計劃于2021年第三季度完成，預計將把20億立方英尺/天的天然氣從二疊紀盆地輸送到德克薩斯州墨西哥灣沿岸。

去年12月，Tellurian撤消了在德克薩斯州和路易斯安那州修建二疊紀全球輸油管道的申請，實際上取消了該項目。擬建的20億立方英尺/天項目將天然氣從二疊紀盆地輸送至路易斯安那州吉利斯的擬建液化天然氣（LNG）設施。

EIA的天然氣管道項目跟蹤和液體管道項目數據庫提供了關于美國重要的天然氣和石油基礎設施的信息。EIA根據管道公司網站、行業新聞報道和政府文件提供的最佳信息，每季度更新其天然氣管道項目跟蹤數據。這些數據反映了報告的計劃。這些信息不是預測，也不能反映EIA對項目完成的可能性或時間的假設。

Natural Gas Pipeline Projects Increase U.S. Transportation Capacity

From November 2020 through January 2021, approximately 4.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of new natural gas pipeline capacity entered service, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Natural Gas Pipeline Project Tracker.

Four projects have recently been completed and entered service:

Saginaw Trail Pipeline

Consumer Energy’s $610 million intrastate Saginaw Trail Pipeline entered service in late November 2020. The project replaced and expanded natural gas pipelines and infrastructure in Saginaw, Genesse, and Oakland Counties in Michigan, increasing natural gas capacity by 0.2 Bcf/d.

Buckeye Xpress Project

Columbia Gas Transmission’s (CGT) 0.3 Bcf/d Buckeye Xpress Project began operations in December 2020. The $709 million project involved infrastructure improvements and replaced 66 miles of existing natural gas pipeline with more reliable 36-inch pipe in Ohio and West Virginia. The project increases transportation capacity out of the Appalachia Basin into CGT’s interconnection in Leach, Kentucky, and the TCO Pool in West Virginia.

Permian Highway Pipeline

Kinder Morgan’s Permian Highway Pipeline (PHP) entered service in early January. The 430-mile pipeline brings 2.1 Bcf/d of additional natural gas capacity from the Waha Hub, located in West Texas near production activities in the Permian Basin, to Katy, Texas, near the Gulf Coast. It has additional connections to Mexico.

Agua Blanca Expansion Project

Whitewater/MPLX’s Agua Blanca Expansion Project, which entered service in late January, connects to nearly 20 natural gas processing sites in the Delaware Basin. It transports an additional 1.8 Bcf/d of natural gas to the Waha Hub in West Texas. The project will also connect with the Whistler Pipeline, which is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2021 and is expected to move 2.0 Bcf/d of natural gas from the Permian Basin to the Texas Gulf Coast.

In December, Tellurian withdrew its application to build the Permian Global Access Pipeline in Texas and Louisiana, effectively canceling the project. The proposed 2.0 Bcf/d project would have transported natural gas from the Permian Basin to a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Gillis, Louisiana.

EIA’s Natural Gas Pipeline Project Tracker and the Liquids Pipeline Projects Database provide information about important natural gas and petroleum infrastructure in the United States. EIA updates its Natural Gas Pipeline Project Tracker quarterly, based on the best available information from pipeline company websites, trade press reports, and government documents.
