US liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter Cheniere Energy and units of Whistler Pipeline have agreed to form a joint venture to construct the ADCC natural gas pipeline.
According to Whistler, the 42-inch ADCC pipeline will run approximately 43 miles from Whistler Pipeline’s terminus to Cheniere’s Corpus Christi liquefaction facility in Texas.
Subject to customary regulatory and other approvals, the pipeline project is scheduled to be commissioned in 2024.
The project is expected to transport up to 1.7 billion cubic feet per day of (Bcf/d) natural gas and will be expandable to 2.5Bcf/d of natural gas.
Whistler Pipeline is owned by a consortium including WhiteWater, MPLX LP, and a JV between Stonepeak and West Texas Gas.
The development comes amid the surging demand for US liquefied natural gas from Europe that is scrambling to find alternative resources to replace Russian gas.
