Panhandle Eastern Pipeline is one of the largest natural gas pipelines owned by Southern Union Co. with a length of 6,376 miles and 24 compressor stations. The pipeline’s 2.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) capacity is aimed at delivering volumes from the panhandle region of Oklahoma and Texas into the Midwest.
The delivery points include Chicago, Dayton and Cincinnati, and interconnections make it possible for this gas to reach the East Coast. According to the company, the pipeline’s customers include some of the largest utility and industrial natural gas users in the country.
According to Hart Energy Mapping and Data Services, ProLiance Energy LLC is the largest transport customer on the pipeline with 457,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of capacity; followed by Amerencips at 119,000 Dth/d. The rest of the top 10 are Consumers Energy Co. with 100,000 Dth/d; Amerenue with 95,000 Dth/d; Amerenip with 90,000 Dth/d; PSEG Energy Resources & Trade LLC with 88,000 Dth/d; KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations with 86,000 Dth/d; Northern Indiana Public Service Co. with 79,000 Dth/d; PCS Nitrogen Ohio, And Lima Refining with 71,000 Dth/d; and Amerencilco with 65,000 Dth/d.
The top storage customers on the pipeline are ProLiance Energy with a combined 30.91 Bcf; Amerenue at 5.33 Bcf; Northern Indiana Public Service at 5.02 Bcf; and Amerencips at 4.23 Bcf. In addition, the pipeline provides access to 74 billion cubic feet of storage capacity.
The top receipt point on Panhandle Eastern is Panhandle Bourbon Delivery, followed by Rex Audrain County – Rockies Express Pipeline. Its top delivery point is Indiana Gas, followed by Lebanon Lateral, according to Hart Energy Mapping and Data Services.
The pipeline will soon have new ownership as Southern Union entered into an $8.9 billion merger agreement with Energy Transfer Equity LP (ETE) last month. This improved offer from ETE followed an acquisition offer from the Williams Companies.
