The projects are valued at $195 million.

The South Central Liquids Hub project will to allow the existing gathering system in the area to handle development anticipated over the next several years and is expected to be in service by the end of the second quarter of 2017.

The second project, the Tower Liquids Hub will provide a lower cost and more commercial flexiblity for handling and storaging of NGLs produced at the Sunrise, Tower and Saturn Phase II processing facilities. The project includes infrastructure to deliver the NGLs into a third-party system and is expected in service in the third quarter of 2017. Part of the Tower Liquids Hub will include capacity to handle third-party NGLs to trucked in or connected directly by a future pipeline.

Both the South Central Liquids Hub and the Tower Liquids Hub are governed by a service agreement with Dawson Midstream, which is in place for the next 28 years.
