Epic Midstream Holdings LP, San Antonio, has completed Phase 2 of its NGL pipeline. NGL is being transported from DLK Black River Midstream to Benedum, Tex., in Upton County. About 205 miles of the 700-mile pipeline project are in service.
Phase 1 was completed in April (OGJ Online, Apr. 3, 2018). Work continues on Phase 3, which will extend from Benedum to Corpus Christi, Tex.
The NGL pipeline is now connected to five processing complexes that have a capacity of 1 bcf. When complete, the pipeline will have a throughput capacity of over 440,000 b/d with multiple origin points in the Delaware and Midland basins.
Epic began construction of the pipeline in December 2017 after signing a definitive agreement with BP Energy Co. to anchor the system (OGJ Online, Sept. 29, 2017).
The company let a contract to Optimized Process Designs LLC, Houston, for engineering, procurement, and construction services for its first 100,000-b/d fractionation train.
