Enlink Midstream Partners, the oil & gas natural gas pipeline operator, has plans to build a 45-mile pipeline along with other supporting infrastructure that will transport growing volumes of condensate and natural gas produced in Ohio’s Utica shale.
The project is rumoured to cost USD $250 million and will include six natural gas compression stations and six condensate stabilizers to help process gas and light oil for transport to markets in the region.
The pipeline is expected to be completed during the second half of 2015 with a capacity of 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) and will join the Utica shale to Enlink’s 200-mile pipeline in eastern Ohio that has access to its Bells Run barge terminal and Black Run rail terminal for shipments further afield.
Enlink also plans to expand its condensate storage capacity at the Bells Run barge terminal on the Ohio River by 120,000 barrels, brining total storage there to 360,000 barrels.
