ADCC Pipeline Begins Commercial Service, Texas
The ADCC Pipeline entered commercial service on July 1, 2024, and is capable of providing approximately 1.7 Billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas transportation capacity to the Cheniere Corpus Christi Liquefaction facility from markets on Whistler Pipeline’s Agua Dulce Header in South Texas.
The receipt points in Agua Dulce provide Cheniere direct access to Permian and Eagle Ford volumes in addition to volumes sourced along the Gulf Coast.
The ADCC Pipeline further enhances the natural gas infrastructure in Texas and creates an additional demand point for Permian gas. This infrastructure is expected to help reduce flared volumes in the Permian Basin and further support U.S. LNG exports to global markets.
The ADCC Pipeline is a joint venture owned 70 percent by Whistler Pipeline, which is a joint venture between WhiteWater (50.6 percent), MPLX (30.4 percent), and Enbridge (19 percent), and 30 percent by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy.
The ADCC Pipeline is an approximately 40-mile, 42-inch intrastate pipeline that transports natural gas from Whistler Pipeline’s Agua Dulce Header to Cheniere’s Corpus Christi Liquefaction facility.
The Whistler Pipeline is an approximately 450-mile, 42-inch intrastate pipeline that transports natural gas from the Waha Header in the Permian Basin to Agua Dulce, Texas, providing direct access to South Texas and export markets. An approximately 50-mile 36-inch lateral provides connectivity to the Midland Basin.
WhiteWater is an Austin, Texas based infrastructure company, and operator of the Whistler Pipeline. WhiteWater is partnered with multiple private equity funds including but not limited to I Squared Capital.
