Wood secures FEED contract for major US natural gas pipeline project


US — Wood has been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the DeLa Express pipeline project, a significant development in US energy infrastructure.

This long-haul, large-diameter pipeline is set to transport liquids-rich natural gas from the Permian Basin in West Texas to the U.S. Gulf Coast and international export markets.

The DeLa Express pipeline is being developed by DeLa Express LLC, a subsidiary of Moss Lake Partners LP.

Once operational, it will serve as a crucial link in meeting the growing demand for natural gas and liquids.

The project’s design capacity is impressive:

  • Transportation capacity: Approximately 2+ billion cubic feet per day (BCF/d) of natural gas and liquids
  • Equivalent supply: Daily energy needs of Chicago, Illinois
  • Pipeline dimensions: 645 miles of 42-inch diameter mainline and 139 miles of associated laterals

The DeLa Express project aims to address several key issues in the energy sector:

  • Reduce flaring and emissions in the Permian Basin
  • Minimise environmental impact by transporting natural gas and liquids in a single mainline
  • Provide critical energy to major demand markets, including Cameron Parish, Louisiana – North America’s largest LNG demand centre

Jeremy Hall, Senior Vice President of Oil, Gas and New Energies Americas for Wood, highlighted the project’s significance, stating: “As demand for natural gas increases, the project will provide a transformational answer to the strained existing pipeline capacity from the Permian Basin.”

Eric J. Carmichael, Senior Vice President of EPC Projects for Moss Lake Partners, expressed confidence in Wood’s selection, stating: “Given the remarkable interest from Permian producers, global consumers and private capital markets, Wood is the natural choice to spearhead one of our premiere infrastructure development projects.”

Wood is expected to bring substantial experience to the DeLa Express project, having recently completed designs for several long-haul pipeline systems in the United States.

The company has a strong track record in delivering engineering for complex natural gas pipeline systems and managing the FERC permitting process.

Wood’s recent projects include the Grey Oak Pipeline, ExxonMobil’s Delaware Connector, and Williams’ Regional Energy Access.

This project represents a significant step forward in U.S. energy infrastructure, promising to enhance energy security both domestically and globally while addressing environmental concerns in the Permian Basin.
