Gulfstream Pipeline Fully Operational Following
Katrina
TAMPA, Fla. - Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C.
reported Thursday that the natural gas pipeline is fully operational
and is continuing to transport all supplies tendered to it by customers.
The 691-mile pipeline is receiving natural gas supplies from both
offshore and onshore sources, however those natural gas supplies
are at reduced levels. The pipeline facilities did not sustain any
significant damage from Hurricane Katrina.
"Despite the fact that some natural gas supplies have been
interrupted, Gulfstream has continued to flow all gas delivered
to the pipeline," said Gulfstream Operations Vice President
Al Taylor. "Gulfstream will increase its deliveries of natural
gas into the Florida market as natural gas production is restored."
Placed into service in May 2002, the Gulfstream pipeline has the
capacity to deliver 1.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas each day
to serve Florida's growing energy needs. The pipeline is a joint
development between Williams (NYSE:WMB) and Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK).
