72-mile Louisiana pipeline enters service for Port Arthur LNG
(UI) — Sempra Infrastructure has placed its Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector into service, adding a new natural gas transportation link designed to supply the Port Arthur LNG export facility and strengthen Gulf Coast energy infrastructure.
The project includes 72 miles of 42-inch pipeline, a compressor station in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana, and associated above- and below-ground facilities. The pipeline is designed to transport up to 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
The new pipeline will provide feedgas to the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project, which remains under construction and is expected to have a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 million metric tons per year when completed.

Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure, said the project was completed ahead of schedule and below budget.
“This milestone is a key step in advancing critical energy infrastructure in the United States,” Bird said.
The connector also interconnects with Sempra Infrastructure's Gillis Hub Pipeline system in southwest Louisiana and will provide access to the company's LA Storage natural gas storage facility, which is currently under construction.
According to Sempra, the project represents less than $1 billion in capital investment and is intended to improve natural gas transportation flexibility and supply reliability along the Gulf Coast.
