Energy Transfer LP has added over 400,000 b/d of NGL capacity out of the Permian and Delaware basins with the completion of its Lone Star Express Pipeline expansion project (OGJ Online, Nov. 8, 2018). The project was completed on budget and ahead of schedule, the company said Sept. 1.
The new 352-mile, 24-in. pipeline originates in Winkler County, Tex., and connects into the existing Lone Star Express 30-in. pipeline at the Morgan Junction in Bosque County, Tex., south of Fort Worth.
The pipeline system ultimately connects into Energy Transfer’s Mont Belvieu integrated liquids storage and fractionation facility. Energy Transfer's seventh fractionator at Mont Belvieu was brought online earlier this year, bringing the partnership's total fractionation capacity to more than 900,000 b/d.
