Natural Gas Pipeline 270 Mile Approval

The Associated Press reported today from Icksburg, Mississippi that United States Federal regulators have approved construction of a 270-mile natural gas pipeline project through Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama.

The 270 mile long natural gas project, known as Southeast Supply Header, is a joint venture between Center Point Energy and Spectra Energy Corp., both companies headquartered in Houston, Texas.

The 270 miles is designed to connect natural gas pipelines in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas with another natural gas line that connects them with the Gulf of Mexico to Florida.

The 36-inch natural gas pipeline will transport up to 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from a Center.owned hub in northeast Louisiana to one co-owned by Spectra in Mobile, Ala.

This approval of the 270 mile natural gas pipeline represents the final step in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's process.
