question 20

Short Answer

The expansion will increase the capacity of the Katy pipeline in southeast Texas to more than 1.1 billion cubic feet per day from 700,000 million cubic feet per day. Net revenue per cubic foot is $1.25 and the pipeline is expected to have a resale value of 28 million at the end of year 38.
