Yahoo Finance Enbridge's TEAL Pipeline Expansion Becomes Fully Operational
Enbridge Inc’s ENB Texas Eastern Appalachian Lease (“TEA”L) natural gas pipeline expansion in Ohio has become fully operational.
In March 2019, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) gave its approval for the pipeline to begin operations at the new Salineville compressor station. TEAL is intended to supply Enbridge's new Nexus pipeline, which has a planned capacity of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day. The pipeline became partially operational in late 2018.
The 36-inch pipeline in Monroe County, Ohio, is 4.4 miles (7 kilometers) long and comprises 1,790 feet of connecting pipeline to the Nexus line in Columbiana County, the new compressor station in that county as well as a new compressor unit in the Colerain compressor station. The project, which is worth $183 million, also altered an existing line to facilitate bi-directional flows.
Nexus has a design capacity of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day and began partial services in 2018. The pipelines are operated by Enbridge.
Enbridge is a leading energy infrastructure company. One of its businesses comprises the transportation of energy through the most extensive as well as advanced crude and liquids pipeline system that is spread across 17,018 miles globally. Through the Mainline and Express pipelines, the company transports 2.8 million barrels of crude every day that accounts for almost 68% of the Canadian crude oil production that are transported to the United States.
Through 2018, Enbridge has placed online C$7 billion worth of growth projects. The projects were placed into service per schedule and didn’t exceed budget. This reflects on the company’s strong project execution skill. Moreover, the company is likely to bring online another C$16 billion worth of midstream developments thorough 2019 to 2020. This is likely to boost shareholders’ value in the upcoming years.
