Elba Express Pipeline, also known as the SONAT Elba Express III and part of the Elba III Project, is an operating gas pipeline in Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina, USA.[1]
Location
The pipeline runs through Georgia, USA and South Carolina, USA.[2][3]
Project details
- Operator: Southern LNG, Inc, Elba Express Company, LLC[4]
- Parent company: Kinder Morgan
- Capacity: 945 million cubic feet per day[1][4]
- Length: 190 miles[1]
- Diameter: 36, 42 inches[2]
- Status: Operating[4][1]
- Start year: 2010[4]
- Cost: US$200 million[1]
Background
The pipeline went into service on March 1, 2010.[1][4]
It was originally owned by El Paso Corporation[4], which was acquired by Kinder Morgan in 2012.[5]
It was built in two segments: the Southern Segment and Northern Segment.[2] The Southern Segment includes about 104.8 miles of 42-inch pipeline from Port Wentworth to the existing Southern Wrens Compressor Station in Jefferson County, Georgia, USA. The Northern Segment includes about 82.3 miles (10 miles of 42-inch and 75 miles of 36 inch) of pipeline extend from Wrens to interconnections with the Transcontinental Gas Pipeline in Hart County, Georgia and Anderson County, South Carolina.[2][6] U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authorized the project in conjunction with the Elba III Project which involves the modifications and expansion of storage capacity of the Elba Island LNG Terminal.[7]
On 07 June 2016, FERC approved Kinder Morgan's proposal to expand north-to-south capacity on the Elba Express pipeline. Phase 1 of the project which is further divided into three sub-phases, would add 686.6 Mmcf/day. The first two sub-phases was expected to be operational by November and December 2016 and third by August 2017. Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the project is expected to add 138.1 Mmcf/day and 229.4 Mmcf/day of southward capacity scheduled to be completed by November 2017 and June 2019, respectively.[8] As of August 2023, there has been no update on the expansions.
