In the agreement, Chevron obtained up to 1.0 bcuft/d capacity in a new-build pipeline, and 0.6 bcuft/d interconnect capacity to the existing pipeline operated by Natural Gas Pipeline Co of America (NGPL), a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, located adjacent to the Sabine Pass LNG terminal site. Combined, the new pipeline and interconnect capacity with NGPL will provide important 'take-away' options for Chevron's capacity at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal. This new pipeline system will provide access to Chevron's Sabine and Bridgeline pipelines, which connect to Henry Hub. "This agreement is key to advancing Chevron's effort to provide the US market with new sources of natural gas, and is a significant step forward in our overall strategy of building complete gas value chains," said John Gass, president of Chevron Global Gas. "This pipeline, combined with our capacity in the Sabine Pass LNG terminal, will allow us the unique opportunity to flexibly link all key consuming markets east of the Rockies with Chevron's LNG projects," said Randy Curry, president of Chevron Natural Gas.
