US feed-gas boost
April 1 (LNGJ) - The East Texas operating subsidiary of Midcoast Energy has put its CJ Express Expansion Project into service and executed a firm transportation agreement and natural gas purchase and sales agreement with Golden Pass LNG , the project being developed by Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil Corp. The CJ Express project added compression and pipeline facilities at multiple locations on Midcoast's existing East Texas system.
“CJ Express was anchored by long-term transportation agreements with two creditworthy shippers,” said Midcoast. “The new commercial agreements with Golden Pass LNG will become effective after completion of an extension of the Midcoast Clarity pipeline in the Beaumont area to a new interconnect with Golden Pass Pipeline. The construction of new facilities and the effective date of long-term commitments will align with Golden Pass LNG's feed-gas needs,” it explained.
