About Kinetica
Kinetica Partners, LLC (Kinetica) is a midstream energy company operating over
1,600 miles of pipeline and multiple liquid handling facilities across the Gulf of
America region. Many of these assets were formerly owned and operated by
Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), giving Kinetica a strong foundation of proven
infrastructure. Since its founding in 2010, Kinetica has focused on providing safe,
reliable, and responsive natural gas transportation and liquid handling services for
producers in the region, with an emphasis on operational simplicity, system
stability, and long-term customer relationships.
Project Overview
Kinetica is advancing a pipeline expansion to increase natural gas transportation
capacity from West Louisiana (Egan area) to the constrained Southeast Louisiana
(Gulf South/500L) market. The project utilizes existing offshore infrastructure,
originally designed for gathering Gulf of America gas, and requires only
compression additions at Pecan Island and Cocodrie to support the eastbound
flow. By leveraging underutilized assets, this approach minimizes the
permitting and construction timeline
The system currently transports up to 125,000 dekatherms per day and the
planned expansion will increase capacity to 500,000 dekatherms per day with
room for future growth. Of this expanded capacity 250,000 per day can flow into
Gulf South at Lirette and 350,000 per day can flow into TGP at Cocodrie.
Current Receipt Point:

Current Delivery Points:
•
Discovery
•
Lirette (LIG)
•
Targa Venice (TETCO/CGT/Gulf South)
Expansion delivery opportunities:
•
Up to 350,000 dth per day to eastern delivery points at TGP Cocodrie or
MLV 526 (TETCO/CGT ) with additional compression
•
Up to 250,000 dth per day at Lirette (Gulf South)
As part of the expansion, Kinetica is launching an open season to solicit interest
from market participants. Respondents will have the opportunity to propose:
•
New receipt points
•
New delivery points
•
Transportation rates and volume commitments
The project is currently in development, with a target in-service date of Q1-
2027 for Phase II. It offers a timely solution to bridge rising supply from the
West with constrained markets and growing demand in the East.
