The TEAM 2013 open season is in addition to the previously announced TEAM 2012 expansion which will provide customers with up to 300 million cubic feet per day (Mmcf/d) of capacity by the fourth quarter 2012.
The TEAM 2013 expansion project, with an estimated late 2013 in service, targets a capacity expansion of 500 Mmcf/d. The expansion project is not restricted to this target capacity amount and will be scalable and sized to meet customer needs, the company said.
Interested shippers will have the opportunity to nominate transportation services from multiple existing and proposed receipt points on the Texas Eastern system within the Appalachian and Marcellus Shale production regions to delivery points across Texas Eastern’s market area, offering substantial flexibility and optionality to customers.
The open season for the TEAM 2013 expansion project will commence on November 23, 2009, and end on January 15, 2010.
Bob Riga, general manager of Spectra Energy Transmission, said: “TEAM 2013 will contemplate new, firm incremental transportation capacity of the Texas Eastern facilities with a targeted 2013 in service to accommodate customers’ timing and increased transportation capacity needs as their production ramps up.
“As development of the Appalachian and Marcellus production regions increases, Texas Eastern will continue to develop expansion projects, like TEAM 2012 and TEAM 2013, that are timed and sized to meet customer needs, enabling them to address their growth requirements and get their supplies to market.”
