New 55.6‑Mile Pipeline to Deliver 2.7 Bcf/d
The Sabine Crossing Pipeline Project would build about 55.6 miles of 48‑inch pipeline in Texas, add a Hampshire Compressor Station with four units totaling 210,000 HP, and allow delivery of up to 2.7 Bcf/day to the Sabine Pass terminal; the project is estimated to cost $1,626,222,797.
