Project Description
The project involves the 1.2-million dekatherm expansion of the Transco pipeline system to serve the Cheniere Energy Partners’ Sabine Pass liquefaction project being developed in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Transco has executed an agreement with Sabine Pass Liquefaction for the entire capacity of the Gulf Trace project. The Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal will connect US natural gas supplies with global LNG markets.

In addition to the pipeline reversal, a new 11 km, 91 cm lateral pipeline, the expansion of an existing compressor station and a new greenfield compressor station are planned to provide stable transportation service to the Sabine Pass LNG facility.
