MarkWest Liberty launches open season for Appalachia line

MarkWest Liberty NGL Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of MPLX LP, has launched a binding open season to solicit commitments from potential shippers for a proposed pipeline to serve Appalachian producers.

The pipeline would provide transportation services of a mixed stream of natural gas liquids—including propane, normal butane, isobutane, pentanes, and higher molecular-weight hydrocarbons—from natural gas processing plants in West Virginia and Pennsylvania to fractionation facilities in Ohio and Pennsylvania (OGJ Online, Feb. 12, 2018).

Shippers electing to make long-term volume commitments during the open season will be eligible to receive firm service for their committed volumes.

The open season runs through Oct. 12.
