UGI Energy Services announces project to expand Auburn Gathering System
UGI Energy Services, LLC announced Tuesday the construction of two additional compressor stations in Susquehanna County and Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, to expand its Auburn Gathering System.
The project will increase the capacity of the Auburn Gathering System by approximately 150,000 dekatherms per day, bringing its total capacity to 620,000 dekatherms per day. It will transport gas from acreage being produced by Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation.
The project is supported by a long-term agreement and will require a total capital investment of $50 million.
Deliveries will begin in the fall of 2018, and the balance of capacity will become available in the fall of 2019.
“Demand for Marcellus gas continues to grow rapidly,” John L. Walsh, president and CEO of UGI Corporation, said. “Developing the infrastructure to transport this gas is critically important. This expansion will supply gas to end-users and feed new pipelines that will connect Marcellus gas to regions that have not historically benefitted from access to this clean, abundant, and inexpensive energy source.”
UGI Energy Services, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UGI Corporation.
