Wood has been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) for a long-haul, large diameter liquids-rich natural gas pipeline project in the United States.
The DeLa Express pipeline project being developed by DeLa Express LLC, a subsidiary of Moss Lake Partners LP, is proposed to deliver liquids-rich natural gas from the Permian Basin of West Texas to the US Gulf Coast and international export markets.
Once complete, the project will act as a highway to supply the growing demand for natural gas and liquids, safely shipping critical energy to the largest demand markets, including the largest liquified natural gas (LNG) demand centre in North America - Cameron Parish, Louisiana near the Sabine River Corridor.
The project is being designed for approximately two plus (2.0+) billion cubic feet per day (BCF/d) of natural gas and liquids transportation capacity, enough to supply the daily equivalent demand of the city of Chicago, Illinois.
Jeremy Hall, senior vice-president of oil, gas and new Eenergies Americas for Wood, said: “As demand for natural gas increases, the project will provide a transformational answer to the strained existing pipeline capacity from the Permian Basin.
“Wood recently completed the design of several long-haul pipeline systems in the United States and has a strong track record of delivering engineering for complex natural gas pipeline systems as well as managing the FERC permitting process. Our team is delighted to work with DeLa Express and Moss Lake Partners on this flagship project that will help to provide increased energy security in the United States and around the world.”
