能源Transfer启动南密西西比天然气管道公开征集：约215英里、目标2030年3月前投运
密西西比州乔治县，能源Transfer（Energy Transfer）旗下州际控股公司10月28日启动一项具有约束力的公开征集，为拟建的南密西西比项目招募运力，征集期至11月25日结束。
该项目拟建一条约215英里的州际天然气管道，起点为路易斯安那州里奇兰堂区的拟议接收点，终点为密西西比州乔治县一带的拟议交付点，管径拟为42英寸或36英寸，并配套压缩与计量设施。公司表示，已有锚定托运方作出具有约束力的承诺，若项目推进，目标是在2030年3月1日之前投入服务。
需要说明的是，这次公开征集只是商业开发步骤，并非最终投资决定，也不是联邦能源监管委员会的许可、开工或承包商授标；公司尚未披露资本预算、工程包、管材供应商、压缩机厂商、施工承包商或最终线路。公司将在评估具有约束力的投标后决定是否推进，之后还须获得联邦能源监管委员会的相关授权才能建设。
Energy Transfer Opens Binding Open Season for Proposed 215-Mile South Mississippi Gas Pipeline
In George County, Mississippi, Energy Transfer Interstate Holdings, an Energy Transfer affiliate, launched a binding open season on October 28 to solicit capacity commitments for the proposed South Mississippi Project, with the solicitation running through November 25.
The project would build an interstate natural gas pipeline of approximately 215 miles from a proposed receipt point in Richland Parish, Louisiana, to a proposed delivery point in the George County, Mississippi, area, using either 42-inch or 36-inch pipe with associated compression and metering facilities. The company said it has secured binding commitments from anchor shippers and, if the project advances, targets service on or before March 1, 2030.
The open season is a commercial-development step only: it is not a final investment decision, a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission certificate, a construction start or a contractor award, and the company has not disclosed a capital budget, engineering package, pipe or compressor suppliers, construction contractor or final route. After evaluating binding bids, the company will decide whether to proceed, and FERC authorization would still be required before construction.
