Co announces its plan to expand the working gas storage capacity at its Markham Storage facility in Matagorda County along the Texas Gulf Coast.
KMI has reached an agreement with Underground Services Markham, LLC, a subsidiary of Texas Brine Company LLC, to lease an additional cavern at Markham to provide more than 6 billion cubic feet of incremental working gas storage capacity and 650 million cubic feet per day of incremental withdrawal capacity on KMI's extensive Texas intrastate pipeline system.
Anchor shippers have subscribed to approximately half of the available capacity under long-term agreements, and commercial in-service for the project is expected in January 2024.
Prior to the expansion, Markham had 21.8 Bcf of working gas storage capacity with peak delivery of 1.1 Bcf/day of natural gas with multiple receipt and delivery points on KMI's nearly 7,000-mile Texas intrastate system.
