Enterprise Products Partners L.P. has announced a binding open season to determine shipper support for transporting propane to Mont Belvieu, Texas on the partnership’s Appalachia-to-Texas (ATEX) pipeline.
Currently the ATEX pipeline has long-term contracts in place for ethane transportation to Mont Belvieu. The addition of propane service will not impact Enterprise’s contractual obligations with existing ATEX ethane shippers.
To accommodate shipments of propane, Enterprise would loop a portion of ATEX, add pumping capacity as needed and install additional facilities for the delivery of specification ethane and propane at destination points. The final scope of the project will be determined by the aggregate volume of commitments received during the open season, but propane transportation service is anticipated to commence in the first quarter of 2015.
Michael A. Creel, CEO of Enterprise’s general partner, commented: "Transporting propane to Mont Belvieu, the largest, most liquid trading and storage hub, will provide northeast producers with a reliable outlet for their excess propane and help maximize the value of their production. If export markets soften, Mont Belvieu is best positioned to store and distribute propane to the petrochemical and propane dehydrogenation markets and to other pipeline-connected destinations originating from Mont Belvieu."
The open season will begin on Wednesday June 5, 2013 at 9 a.m. CDT and will end on Thursday July 11, 2013 at 5 p.m. CDT. For commercial inquiries or additional information related to the open season, please contact Russ Kovin at (713) 381-7925 or rkovin@eprod.com.
