Second fractionator in service at Lone Star NGL's Mont Belvieu Facility
DALLAS -- Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (ETP) and Regency Energy Partners, L.P. (RGP) announced today that Lone Star NGL LLC, a joint venture between ETP and RGP, has placed in service the second NGL fractionator at Lone Star's facility in Mont Belvieu, Texas.
Lone Star Frac II is a 100,000 barrel-per-day fractionator that brings Lone Star's total fractionation capacity at Mont Belvieu to 200,000 barrels per day.
Lone Star's Mont Belvieu fractionators receive NGLs from several sources, including Lone Star's west Texas NGL pipelines and ETP's Justice NGL pipeline. Volumes transported on Lone Star's pipeline system and the ETP Justice pipeline continue to ramp up as shippers under long-term agreements with Lone Star and ETP increase their production from the Permian basin, Eagle Ford shale and other producing regions.
"The startup of Frac II is 10 weeks ahead of schedule and under budget, which underscores our ability to efficiently execute large-scale NGL projects," said Steve Spaulding, executive V.P. of Lone Star NGL. "The increased fractionation capacity will increase the supply of purity NGL products for our downstream customers through our storage facilities, Houston Ship Channel pipelines, and our recently announced LPG export terminal with Sunoco Logistics."
