据管道新闻网7月21日消息称，金德摩根首席执行官史蒂芬?基恩表示，公司正在“推进”二叠纪盆地的第三条主要天然气管道项目的计划。该管道名为“二叠纪通道”。该项目将从德克萨斯州西部输送天然气到德克萨斯州东部-路易斯安那州墨西哥湾沿岸的萨宾地区。

基恩说：“我们有两个项目可以运输天然气—墨西哥湾沿岸运输和二叠纪高速公路—我们正在讨论的第三条管道，我们称之为二叠纪通道。”

总总部位于休斯顿的金德摩根目前正与客户合作，拟建设20亿立方英尺/天的管道。基恩说：“这项工作正在进行中。当然，目前还没有积压，但正在进行中。”

二叠纪通道将是金德摩根第三个也是该行业第四个将投产的二叠纪到墨西哥湾天然气管道项目，此前Whistler pipeline计划于2021年投产。今年4月，该公司在第一季度财报电话会议上首次提到了这一点，但没有透露拟议产能或路线的细节。

他说:“德克萨斯州的供应和需求都有很大的增长。我们可以在这两个州之间架起桥梁，连接到我们最重要的德克萨斯州内部管道网络，完全留在德克萨斯州境内，在那里我们有更多的商业灵活性。”

萨宾地区一直是液化和液化天然气出口的增长市场。总部位于休斯顿的切尼尔能源公司正在扩大位于萨宾河路易斯安那一侧的出口设施的液化能力，而埃克森美孚与卡塔尔石油公司的一家合资企业正在扩大其在德克萨斯州的出口终端。总部位于圣地亚哥的森普拉能源公司也正在附近的亚瑟港建设一个出口终端。

金德摩根的天然气管道在2019年第二季度日均输送量为347090亿英热单位，比2018年第二季度的317040亿英热单位增加了9.48%。

Kinder Morgan Moves Closer to Construction of Third Permian Pipeline

Kinder Morgan is "moving along" with plans for a third major pipeline project from the Permian Basin—the newly named Permian Pass, which would deliver natural gas from West Texas to the Sabine area of the East Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast, CEO Steven Kean said.

"We've got two projects to get the gas out – Gulf Coast Express and Permian Highway – and we are in discussions on a possible third pipeline, which we're calling Permian Pass," Kean said.

Houston-based Kinder Morgan is currently working with customers on the proposed 2 Bcf/d pipeline. "This is a work in progress. It's not in the backlog at this point, certainly, but it is moving along," Kean said.

Permian Pass would be Kinder Morgan's third and the industry's fourth major Permian-to-Gulf Coast natural gas pipeline project to come online, following Whistler Pipeline's planned start-up in 2021. It was first mentioned during the company's first-quarter earnings call in April with no details of its proposed capacity or route.

"There's large supply growth in Texas and large demand growth in Texas. We can bridge the two and connect to our premier Texas Intrastate Pipeline Network and stay entirely within the state of Texas, where we have more commercial flexibility," he said.

The Sabine area has been a growing market for liquefaction and LNG export. Houston-based Chiniere Energy is expanding liquefaction capacity at its export facilities on Louisiana side of the Sabine River, while an Exxon Mobil-Qatar Petroleum joint venture is expanding its export terminal on the Texas side. San Diego-based Sempra Energy also is building a export terminal, in nearby Port Arthur.

Kinder Morgan's natural gas pipelines transported an average of 34,709 billion BTU/d in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 9.48%, compared with 31,704 billion BTU/d in the second quarter of 2018.
