As part of the project, Enterprise also plans to increase capacity on the Acadian Haynesville Extension by adding horsepower at its Mansfield compressor station in De Soto Parish. When completed, the expansion and extension project will increase the Acadian system’s capability to transport Haynesville natural gas production from 1.8 billion ft3/d to 2.1 billion ft3/d. The project is supported by long-term customer contracts and is expected to begin service in mid-2021.
“The Haynesville region currently produces approximately 11 billion ft3/d of natural gas, which is expected to grow to approximately 14 billion ft3/d by 2025,” said A.J. ‘Jim’ Teague, chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner. “The expansion and extension of the Acadian system enhances our capability to link supply to some of the most attractive markets in the US. Once this project is completed, our Acadian system will be able to deliver a total of 2.1 billion ft3/d of Haynesville production into the LNG market, South Louisiana industrial complex and other interconnects that serve attractive southeastern US markets.”
The Legacy Acadian and Haynesville Extension pipelines are part of the Acadian Gas Pipeline System, which is comprised of approximately 1300 miles of natural gas pipelines. It links natural gas supplies in Louisiana and offshore Gulf of Mexico with local distribution companies, electric utility plants and industrial customers located primarily in the Baton Rouge/New Orleans/Mississippi River corridor area. Enterprise’s 357-mile Haynesville Gathering System, which has a capacity of approximately 1.3 billion ft3/d and can treat up to 810 million ft3/d of natural gas, provides a significant and reliable source of supply for the Acadian system.
