United States contractor Willbros Group has been awarded a contract to construct spreads three and four of the 298 km Fayetteville Express Pipeline, which runs from Conway County, Arkansas, via White County, to Trunkline Gas Company’s interconnect, located in Panola County, Mississippi.
The contracted scope of work includes laying 193 km of 42 inch diameter pipeline to parallel existing utility corridors in the region, beginning near Bald Knob, Arkansas, and ending at the Trunkline Gas Company interconnection.
Construction on spreads three and four is expected to begin in April 2010 and is scheduled to be completed in October 2010.
Willbros President and Chief Executive Officer Randy Harl said “This is a significant project resulting from the continuing development of the Fayetteville region. We remain convinced that current favourable economics, combined with the benefits that natural gas provides to the environment, will drive build-out of takeaway capacity in areas such as Fayetteville, Haynesville and Marcellus shales.
“We anticipate additional United States pipeline construction opportunities for Willbros as new infrastructure will be required to transport hydrocarbons to regions with growing demand.”
