Phase 1 commissioning activities and performance tests of the liquefied LNG receiving terminal were successfully completed earlier this month (March).
The 111 km Golden Pass Pipeline, which originates at the Golden Pass LNG Terminal in Sabine Pass, Texas, and terminates at the Transco interconnection in Stark, Louisiana, was successfully commissioned earlier in the year.
Phase 1 operations will enable nominal send out capacity of 1 Bcf/d of gas, while Phase 2 of the terminal is expected to commence commercial operations in May or June.
The 42 inch diameter pipeline is capable of processing an average of 2.5 Bcf/d of gas and was designed to provide maximum flexibility for customers.
With nine interconnects to intrastate and interstate pipelines, the Golden Pass Pipeline provides access to major markets, connecting to both the Houston Ship Channel and major interstate pipelines servicing the Gulf Coast, and midwestern and northeastern United States.
