Spectra Energy Signs Precedent Agreements with Shippers for Pipeline Expansion to Deliver Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Supply to the Northeast
The Northern Bridge expansion project will transport up to 150 million cubic feet per day (Mmcf/d) of Rockies natural gas from the growing Clarington, Ohio, supply point to the Oakford / Delmont, Pa., region.
"Our Texas Eastern Transmission system is ideally positioned with a footprint that can be efficiently expanded to serve all key Northeast markets along its existing path from Ohio to New York," said
Northern Bridge will build upon Spectra Energy's strategy of cost- effectively developing its transportation infrastructure to direct new supplies of natural gas to the Northeast through incremental expansions that match the market demand.
Spectra Energy is also continuing to work with customers that expressed interest in its TIME III binding open season for transportation services downstream of Northern Bridge. TIME III will provide key Northeast markets with access to new Rockies supply through several receipt points including Clarington and Oakford as well as the proposed Steckman Ridge storage project in Bedford County, Pa.
During the last six years, Texas Eastern Transmission has expanded its system in the Northeast corridor by 15 percent and the system is now able to move more than 4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) from Ohio to the Northeast.
Spectra Energy Corp (NYSE: SE) is one of North America's premier natural gas infrastructure companies serving three key links in the natural gas value chain: gathering and processing, transmission and storage and distribution. For close to a century, Spectra Energy and its predecessor companies have developed critically important pipelines and related energy infrastructure connecting natural gas supply sources to premium markets.
