Pacific Connector Pipeline Proposed to Link New LNG Terminal to Markets

LCG, February 16, 2006--Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Williams' Northwest Pipeline and Fort Chicago Energy Partners L.P. announced last week plans to develop a new natural gas pipeline in Oregon to transport gas from the proposed Jordan Cove LNG Terminal in Coos Bay, Oregon to inland pipelines and markets. The companies will be equal partners in the Pacific Connector project, which is estimated to cost $750 million to $850 million.

The proposed Pacific Connector pipeline would have a capacity of 1 Bcf/day and extend approximately 250 miles, with connections to the Northwest Pipeline system near Roseburg and to the PG&E pipeline system near Malin, just north of the California border. The connections would enable supplies to be delivered to markets in the Northwest, California and (via the Tuscarora gas pipeline) northern Nevada.

The proposed pipeline is contingent upon a number of regulatory approvals, including approval of the LNG terminal by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the U.S. Coast Guard. If timely regulatory approval is received for both projects, the pipeline project could be completed in 2010.
