Tallgrass Energy, Rockies Express Pipeline completes capacity enhancement project
LEAWOOD, Kan. -- Tallgrass Energy and Rockies Express Pipeline LLC announced that the 0.8 Bcf/d REX Zone 3 Capacity Enhancement Project is substantially complete and accepting nominations. REX’s Zone 3 continues to be capable of bidirectional natural gas transportation and can now move 2.6 Bcf/d of natural gas from Clarington, Ohio, to delivery points as far as Mexico, Missouri.
Zone 3 provides takeaway capacity for Appalachian natural gas along with transportation routes through its 20 pipeline interconnects and delivery points. Zone 3 capacity from east-to-west is contracted at 2.6 Bcf/d with a weighted average remaining contract life of 16 years as of Dec. 31.
“The completion of the Capacity Enhancement Project marks another important milestone in the transformation of REX into the nation’s northernmost bi-directional natural gas header system,” said Matt Sheehy, Tallgrass’s Senior Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer, and REX’s President. “Our original Capacity Enhancement shippers saw the long-term value in the project over two years ago when they contracted with us. Since then, as others embraced the REX value proposition, we have steadily added incremental long-term customers to this project, fully subscribing the 0.8 billion cubic feet per day.”
