Happy Wednesday!
Over the past year we have blogged on FERC’s approvals and
their approvals being thrown out by US Courts; please check out our blog for
details. We have some good news for several
applications before the end of the year, so they may start getting their ducks
in a row for their projects.
Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s Transportation Report on November 27, 2024, their article titled, “FERC approves Kinder Morgan NGPL expansion, new Rover Pipeline delivery point”?

NGPL’s will be able to increase its current transportation system to 467,000 dekatherms/day (Dth/d) this increase will include 300,000 Dth/d of eastbound transit on Natural’s Louisiana Line.
