A pipeline project to move natural gas from the Permian Basin of West Texas to Corpus Christi is moving forward with three public meetings in Odessa, Uvalde and Alice.
Developers of the Whistler Pipeline held a public meeting for the project on Tuesday evening at the Odessa Marriott in Odessa. A second public meeting is planned for 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Herby Ham Activity Center in the Hill Country town of Uvalde. The third meeting is planned for Thursday at the Alice Country Club in the South Texas town of Alice, the Texas Condemnation Rights website reported.
Spanning some 475 miles, the proposed 42-inch pipeline will move 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Waha Hub in the Permian Basin to the Agua Dulce Hub of South Texas.
The Whistler Pipeline is being developed as a joint venture between Ohio-based MPLX LP, Austin pipeline operator WhiteWater Midstream, New York private equity firm Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners and Midland pipeline operator West Texas Gas.
Developers announced that they had made a final investment decision on the project in June. An open season for booking capacity on the pipeline ended on Monday.
If approved by regulators and supported by the market, the pipeline is expected to be in service by the third quarter of 2021.
The project is expected to connect with Processing facilities and pipelines along its route — including some that feed liquefied natural gas export terminals along the Texas Gulf Coast and export pipelines to Mexico.
