CP Express will build, own and operate a new 48-inch-diameter pipeline approximately 85.1 miles in length and a new 24-inch diameter lateral pipeline approximately 5.9 miles in length, connecting the CP2 LNG terminal to the existing natural gas pipeline grid in east Texas and southwest Louisiana. One new compressor station is proposed to be constructed east of Vinton, Louisiana.

The proposed route for the CP Express natural gas pipeline was developed using the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) routing guidelines. Considerations including safety, environment, land-use compatibility, constructability, environmental justice and cultural resources were all central to route planning. In the coming months, a number of additional efforts will take place, such as civil and environmental field surveys, site evaluations, and ongoing landowner and stakeholder consultations, to determine the final optimal pipeline route. We welcome landowner feedback through this process. Prior to starting these activities, affected landowners and tenants will be consulted about the timing and location of survey and access needs and their permission will be sought for us to enter their properties to conduct the surveys/evaluations.  Our permission to enter a landowner’s property along with access protocols (e.g., restrictions during  hunting seasons, planting and harvest seasons, hours of operation, etc.) will be clearly documented.
