NORTHEAST U.S. GAS--1: CANADIAN GAS IMPORTS TO NEW YORK, NEW ENGLAND SURGING IN 1992

Northeast U.S. gas-pipeline construction activity in 1991 and 1992 has focused on moving gas over two corridors. By the year 2000, more than 3 bcfd of additional natural gas from Canadian and U.S. producing areas could be flowing into New York, New Jersey, and the New England states. With the recent completion of Iroquois Gas Transmission Inc.'s line, additional (mostly Canadian) gas has begun to move into the U.S. Northeast. The gas moves from producing areas in Alberta via TransCanada PipeLines Ltd.'s system or across several northern U.S. states, across Ontario, into western New York State, and on into New England. After a flurry of expansion activity in 1989 and 1990 around Lebanon, Ohio, gas from the U.S. Gulf Coast, Arkoma, and Midcontinent areas has begun to flow in larger volumes across Ohio into Pennsylvania for customers in New York, New Jersey, and southern New England. This first of two articles on 1991-92 gas-pipeline construction in the U.S. Northeast looks at projects to move as much as 2.2 bcfd of Canadian gas over that northerly route; the conclusion will focus on projects for another 945 MMcfd, mostly U.S. gas arriving through the Lebanon hub.
