Williams wins Appomattox gathering gig

Williams Partners reached an agreement with Shell Offshore and Nexen Petroleum Offshore to provide deepwater gas gathering services to the Appomattox development, in the Gulf of Mexico.

Appomattox is located 80mi offshore from the nearest shoreline in Louisiana, in approximately 7200ft of water.

Williams will provide offshore gas gathering services to its existing Transco lateral, which will provide transmission services onshore to its Mobile Bay processing facility. Williams Partners also plans to make modifications to its Main Pass 261 Platform and install an alternate delivery route for customers from the platform to the existing Destin Pipeline for transportation to another onshore processing facility.

“We’re pleased to expand our existing infrastructure to serve the growing needs of deepwater producers,” said Rory Miller, senior vice president of Williams Partners’ Atlantic-Gulf operating area. “This establishes Williams Partners as the first gas gathering system in a new geographic area with capacity available and opportunities for future tie-backs.”

Shell is the operator and own 79% in the Appomattox development with partner Nexen (21%).
