Abstract: Last winters harsh weather throughout the United States and dwindling supplies of natural gas served as a reason for development of new sources of supplies for energy. Transco Companies, Inc. developed their idea of ethane injection to help meet it3 customers fuel requirements. This process increased the heat content of natural gas without much increase in volume. Transco obtained its ethane from the Enterprise Products Company and Union Texas Petroleum. On or about the last week in January, 1977, a project of installing an ethane injection and measurement facility was undertaken. Many hours of work and fabrication were completed in approximately one week and on February 6, 1977, delivery of ethane from Enterprise Products Company to Transco began at 2:00 P.M. A second facility was placed in service on March 7, 1977, utilizing ethane from Union Texas Petroleum. The Enterprise facility was located on Transcos Central Louisiana Lateral at Kaplan, Louisiana and the Union Texas Petroleum facility was located on the Central Louisiana Lateral at Mowata, Louisiana.
