Pelican Pipeline grows LNG reach with new Louisiana lateral
(UI) — WhiteWater plans to expand its Pelican Pipeline system in Louisiana with a new lateral designed to deliver natural gas to Commonwealth LNG’s proposed export terminal in Cameron Parish.
The project, known as the Pelican Thrasher Lateral, will consist of approximately 65 miles of 42-inch pipeline extending from the Gillis area of Beauregard Parish to the LNG facility. The pipeline is designed to transport up to 2.5 Bcf/d of natural gas.
WhiteWater said the lateral is expected to enter service during the first half of 2029, subject to permitting and construction schedules.
The project represents another step in expanding Gulf Coast gas infrastructure to support growing LNG export demand. Once completed, the lateral will provide feedgas transportation capacity to Commonwealth LNG’s planned liquefaction facility on Louisiana’s Gulf Coast.
The Pelican Pipeline system is part of WhiteWater’s broader natural gas transportation network serving major producing regions and Gulf Coast markets.
