The Rockaway lateral has a daily capacity of 647 000 dekatherms, adding 3.2 miles of new Transco pipeline and facilities in New York connecting to the National Grid System which has 1.8 million customers in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island. Transco is Williams' interstate pipeline system covering thousands of miles from the Texas Gulf Coast to the eastern US.

Williams and its master limited partnership, Williams Partners LP, comprise one of the nation's largest midstream natural gas firms. Earlier this month, Williams announced it is buying the outstanding shares of the MLP and folding it into the parent company.
