New york: Sunoco Logistics Partners LP said yesterday it had received sufficient binding commitments to ship propane and butane on its proposed Mariner South pipeline in Texas to proceed with the project.
The pipeline, which will have an initial capacity of 200,000 barrels per day and is expected to start shipping in the first quarter of 2015, will run from a storage complex run by Lone Star in Mont Belvieu to Sunoco’s terminal in Nederland. “In addition to export grade propane and butane, the pipeline will be available for other natural gas liquids and petroleum products depending on shipper interest,” Sunoco said in a statement, adding its capacity could be scaled up.
Lone Star NGL LCC is a joint venture between Energy Transfer Partners LP and Regency Energy Partners LP.
