Energy Transfer to Construct Texas Natural Gas Pipelines

Energy Transfer Partners has entered into multiple long-term agreements with shippers to provide transportation services from Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, US.

The company will construct two natural gas pipelines, Dos Hermanas and Chisholm, for this purpose.

The Dos Hermanas Pipeline will be a 50 mile, 24in pipeline with a capacity of 400 million cubic metres per day. It will extend from northwest Webb County to the Houston Pipeline gas gathering system in eastern Webb County.

The Chisholm Pipeline will be an 83 mile, 20in pipeline extending from DeWitt County to the LaGrange Processing Plant in Fayette County. It will have an initial capacity of 100 million cubic metres per day, and an anticipated capacity over 300 million cubic metres per day in the future.

The Dos Hermanas Pipeline is expected to be complete by the end of 2010 while the Chisholm Pipeline is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2011.
