Kennesaw Pipeline is designed to carry supplies of the nation’s shale plays directly to fast growing markets in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. With access to its sister pipelines, Columbia Gulf Transmission and Columbia Gas Transmission, Kennesaw will deliver natural gas from the country’s major shale plays – including the Marcellus, Haynesville, Barnett, Fayetteville and Woodford Shale.
Kennesaw will extend 269 miles from Banner, Miss., to Rome, Ga., and will operate at a MAOP (maximum allowable operating pressure) of 1440 psig. The first 78 miles will be built with either 42-inch or 36-inch pipe, depending on capacity sales. The remaining 188 miles will be 36-inch pipe. Kennesaw’s initial long-haul capacity is 950,000 Dt/d and an additional 600 MDth/day is available with possible upsizing.
In the second phase of the project capacity will increase to 1,316,000 Dt/d or 1.3 Bcf/day. The proposed route of Kennesaw is proximate to three major storage fields, which include 32.5 Bcf of combined working gas capacity, 1.12 Bcf maximum injection capability and 1.24 Bcf maximum withdrawal capability.
Kennesaw will deliver gas at levels of efficiency unmatched in the Southeast. It will take advantage of existing power corridors and utilize efficient, state-of-the-art compression with fewer emissions and lower energy consumption. In addition, this low cost natural gas option will be available at pressures high enough, and costs low enough, to provide power generators a viable alternative to coal-burning systems.
