Southeast Supply Header

The Southeast Supply Header, LLC (SESH) is a joint venture between subsidiaries of CenterPoint Energy and Spectra Energy. The 270 mile, 36-inch and 42-inch diameter pipeline will extend from the Perryville Hub in northeastern Louisiana to the Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C. pipeline system, which is 50 percent owned by an affiliate of Spectra Energy, near southern Mobile County, Alabama. Southern Natural Gas, an affiliate of El Paso Corporation, and SESH will jointly own the first 115 miles of the pipeline which has an expanded design capacity of 1.5 Bcf per day.

SESH will link the onshore natural gas supply basins of east Texas and northern Louisiana to markets now predominantly served by offshore natural gas supplies from the Gulf of Mexico. The pipeline will give customers an important alternative to offshore supply, which can be vulnerable to weather-related disruptions.
The Carthage to Perryville pipeline is owned and operated by CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company (CEGT). The pipeline, placed in service in May 2007, has created approximately 1.5 billion cubic feet (bcf) per day of pipeline capacity and has connected new domestic natural gas supplies in the East Texas area to markets in the Midwest and Northeast.

The 172-mile pipeline consists of 42-inch diameter pipe from Carthage, Texas, to Delhi, Louisiana, and two compressor stations totaling 41,240 horsepower. The pipeline connects multiple East Texas receiving points with CEGT’s Perryville Hub and four new interstate pipeline interconnections.
