Construction Begins on 650-Mile NGL Pipeline in Permian
EPIC Y Grade Pipeline, LP, a subsidiary of EPIC Y Grade Services, LP and EPIC Midstream Holdings, LP, has signed a definitive agreement with BP Energy Company to anchor the EPIC NGL Pipeline, a new 650-mile natural gas liquids pipeline that will link producers’ NGL reserves in the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins to Gulf Coast refiners, petrochemical companies and export markets. The EPIC NGL Pipeline has secured a capital commitment from funds managed by Ares Management, L.P. The EPIC NGL Pipeline, which has commenced construction, will run side-by-side with the previously announced EPIC Crude Oil Pipeline for most of the route.
Once completed, the EPIC NGL Pipeline will have throughput capacity of at least 220,000 barrels per day with multiple origin points in the Delaware and Midland Basins. Destinations will include interconnects near Orla, Benedum and Corpus Christi, Texas, where EPIC’s affiliate plans to build a fractionation complex to accommodate the pipeline’s volume. In the fourth quarter of 2017, EPIC will conduct an open season to provide interested shippers with an opportunity to secure firm capacity on the pipeline.
Presently, the company is actively acquiring rights of way, and in some cases, multi-line rights will be pursued to accommodate both the NGL and crude oil projects. EPIC plans to have the initial phase of the pipeline in-service in early 2018.
“We are delighted to collaborate with BP, which brings to this project global commercial expertise for both NGLs and purity products,” said Phil Mezey, EPIC’s Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to providing a straight-forward, independent solution to shippers’ NGL marketing and transportation needs.”
