June 5 (Reuters) - Pipeline operator Williams

said on Wednesday a Louisiana court has ruled in its favor in a

dispute with its rival Energy Transfer ( ET ) over a pipeline

construction.

The two firms were locked in a tussle over Williams'

Louisiana Energy Gateway (LEG) Project, under construction in

Texas and Louisiana, after Energy Transfer ( ET ) pushed back on the

line for crossing its own systems.

The ruling by Louisiana's 36th Judicial District Court of

Beauregard Parish was in company's favor on all seven crossings,

and enjoined Energy Transfer ( ET ) from interfering with the

construction, operation and maintenance of the pipeline, a

Williams spokesperson said in a statement.

The 1.8-billion-cubic-feet-per-day (bcfd) system was

supposed to be operational this year, but has been delayed until

the second half of 2025 following the dispute.

Energy Transfer ( ET ) did not immediately respond to a Reuters

request for comment.

The line would feed gas from the Haynesville shale field to

the U.S. Gulf Coast.
