April 5 (LNGJ) - Enbridge Inc., the Canadian pipelines company, said its Texas Eastern Transmission subsidiary had received approvals from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to commence service of a natural gas pipeline associated with its Venice extension LNG feed-gas project in Louisiana.
The Venice extension was designed to supply feed gas to Venture Global LNG's Plaquemines export plant currently under construction on the banks of the Mississippi River south of New Orleans. The FERC said it granted Texas Eastern Transmission’s request to commence service on the 3-mile (4.8km), 36-inch Venice extension pipeline with capacity of around 1.3 billion cubic feet per day.
