The Lucerne 2 plant connects to the Front Range Pipeline for natural gas liquids (NGL) takeaway to Mont Belvieu, Texas. The Partnership holds a one-third ownership interest in the pipeline.

The Partnership's chairman and CEO Wouter van Kempen said: "We are pleased to bring the Lucerne 2 plant online meeting the growing processing needs of our customers in the prolific DJ Basin as we continue to stay in lock step with both current and future customer demand. The Partnership now owns half the DCP enterprise's capacity in the DJ Basin, furthering the growth of our footprint in the top economic basins in the country."
