US energy company Williams Cos Inc. is on track to complete two natural gas pipeline projects in New Jersey and Louisiana on time by the end of 2024 – the company’s CEO, Alan Armstrong told Reuters at the Reuters Global Energy Transition conference on 7 June.
Armstrong said the first phase of the 0.83 billion ft3/d Regional Energy Access expansion in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland would provide about half the project’s gas to customers in 4Q23.
He said the second phase was on track to enter service in late 2024. The company estimated the total cost of Regional Energy Access at close to US$1 billion. Armstrong said Williams was also on track to complete the Louisiana Energy Gateway project in Louisiana and Texas in 4Q24.
Louisiana Energy Gateway will provide producers in the Haynesville shale in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas with more access to the growing number of LNG export plants on the US Gulf Coast.
“We’ve been working towards buying our own ... LNG capacity, which we will then turn and parcel out to our producing customers,” Armstrong said. Armstrong said a lot of Williams’ gas producer customers want to participate in global markets in Europe and Asia where gas is selling for around US$8 per million Btu vs just about US$2 at the US Henry Hub benchmark in Louisiana.
In 2022, Williams announced a non-binding agreement to take about 3 million tpy of capacity in Sempra Energy’s Port Arthur LNG export plant in Texas.
“There are still opportunities between us and Sempra but there are other opportunities that we have identified that will be announced ahead of anything with Sempra,” Armstrong said. He did not name the other opportunities.
