Fossil Energy – Pipeline FEED
Wood has been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) for a long-haul, large diameter liquids-rich natural gas pipeline project in the United States.
The DeLa Express pipeline project is proposed to deliver liquids-rich natural gas from the Permian Basin of West Texas to the U.S. Gulf Coast and international export markets.
Once complete, the project will act as a highway to supply the growing demand for natural gas and liquids, safely shipping critical energy to the largest demand markets, including the largest liquified natural gas (LNG) demand center in North America – Cameron Parish, Louisiana near the Sabine River Corridor.
The project is being designed for approximately two plus (2.0+) billion cubic feet per day (BCF/d) of natural gas and liquids transportation capacity, enough to supply the daily equivalent demand of the city of Chicago, Illinois.
By aiming to provide much needed natural gas and liquids takeaway capacity, the project will reduce flaring and emissions in the Permian, and by transporting natural gas and liquids in a single mainline, it will minimise the need for right-of-way clearing and have a significantly lower environmental impact.
