The Haynesville Expansion and the Red River Lateral increase the total pipeline capacity of the Regency Intrastate Gas System to 2.1 Bcf/d.

The 1.1 Bcf/d Haynesville Expansion consists of the 25-mile, 36-inch Bienville Loop; the 21-mile, 36-inch Elm Grove Pipeline and the 75-mile, 42-inch Winnsboro Loop; as well as 14,200 horsepower of compression at the Elm Grove and Haughton Stations. The Red River Lateral adds 12.5 miles of 36-inch pipe and 100,000 MMBtu/d of capacity to the system.
