Gas shippers show interest in eastern North America

Gary Park

The hunger for natural gas in eastern North America was reflected in a recent open season by Duke Energy Gas Transmission, which could add capacity to three systems starting in early 2005 in response to shipper interest. Union Gas in Ontario could add 3 billion cubic feet per day, while Texas Eastern Transmission is eying 2 billion and Algonquin Gas 1 billion. In addition storage facilities at the Dawn hub in Ontario could be increased by 50 billion cubic feet.

Duke Energy Gas Transmission President Tom O’Connor said Oct. 8 that the shipper response is an important first step in building energy infrastructure in Ontario as the company capitalizes on the Dawn hub’s access to North American gas supply.

He said that even though not all the nominations will necessarily result in firm contracts, there is an indication of continuing demand.
