TULSA, OklahomaWilliams has reached an export agreement with Beacon Offshore Energy Development LLC and its co-owner ShenHai, LLC, a subsidiary of Navitas Petroleum, to provide offshore natural gas gathering and transportation services and onshore processing services to the Shenandoah development through the Discovery infrastructure in the central Gulf of Mexico.

Shenandoah is 160 mi (257 km) offshore Louisiana in the Walker Ridge area of the Gulf of Mexico.

Facilities to be installed include a 5-mi (8-km) offshore lateral pipeline build from the Shenandoah platform to Discovery’s existing Keathley Canyon Connector pipeline, and additional onshore processing facilities to handle the Shenandoah production.

The natural gas will be transported to Discovery’s processing plant in Larose, Louisiana, and the natural gas liquids will be fractionated and marketed at Discovery’s Paradis plant in Louisiana.

Shenandoah is expected to come online as early as late 2024.
