Project Description
Transco proposes to abandon
approximately 12.6 miles of 24-inchdiameter natural gas transmission
pipeline in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana,
and in offshore waters of Louisiana
State and Federal offshore waters. Of the
12.6 miles, Transco proposes to
abandon approximately 9.9 miles in
place, and abandon about 2.7 miles of
pipeline by removal. Additionally,
Transco would remove equipment
associated with meter station 2278 and
meter station 4640, located on the
Vermilion Block 39 Platform and the
VR–22 B Platform offshore, respectively.
According to Transco, the facilities
proposed for abandonment have not
been utilized since 2019 and it does not
anticipate that any additional gas flow
through these facilities will occur in the
future.
