Houston-based Tellurian said it proposes to build an ambitious, $7 billion network of natural gas pipelines from West Texas' Permian Basin to liquefied natural gas export hubs in southern Louisiana.

The system also would include a pipeline from East Texas' and North Louisiana's Haynesville shale down to the same southern Louisiana hub north of Lake Charles. All of these would tie into existing pipeline systems and another planned pipeline to Tellurian's proposed Driftwood LNG export terminal south of Lake Charles.

Tellurian went public earlier this year after being founded by Charif Souki, the LNG pioneer who turned Houston's Cheniere Energy into the nation's first LNG exporter. Souki was ousted from Cheniere for allegedly planning too much growth and then he promptly founded Tellurian.

There are more than proposed 15 projects to expand or construct pipelines that will traverse most of Texas from the Permian Basin to Houston, Corpus Christi and Beaumont. But most of those are crude oil or natural gas liquids pipelines built to serve Texas Gulf Coast hubs....

Ambitious is an understatement.

I like to read about projects like this, as it is the private sector in action to strengthen out pipeline infrastructure and no govt interference is needed.

Only caveat is that the state will have to grant some eminent domain requests for this to succeed.  This will have to be watched.
