In a story published July 1, “Appalachian Basin Lacks Adequate NGL Storage, Pipelines For Demand, More Crackers” (see Shale Daily,June 30), NGI’s Shale Daily incorrectly stated that Sunoco Logistics Partners LP’s Mariner East 1 natural gas liquids pipeline could eventually be converted to carry natural gas if an expansion pipeline is built. Senior Vice President for Business Development Joseph Colella said that if the Mariner East 2X pipeline is built, the Mariner East 1 pipeline currently in service could be converted to natural gasoline or become a bidirectional line for refined products, such as gasoline, diesel or jet fuel, for example. All three Mariner East pipelines would have a combined natural gas liquids capacity of up to 745,000 b/d, and could not be scaled higher, as the article originally said. NGI regrets the errors.

The market for renewable natural gas (RNG) as a transportation fuel is growing, with new interest in Southern California and Scandinavia.

A longtime operator of offshore towing vessels in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), a unit of Harvey Gulf International Marine Inc. on Thursday opened North America’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) marine fueling terminal in Port Fourchon, LA.

Another Pennsylvania state court has weighed in on Sunoco Logistics Partners LP’s Mariner East pipeline projects, this time rejecting the company’s efforts to dismiss a lawsuit against it in a decision that’s likely to set the stage for a statewide ruling about whether the pipelines have eminent domain rights.

Two strong supporters in the U.S. Senate for natural gas use as a transportation fuel and major gas industry executives have joined forces to promote a legislative proposal giving liquefied natural gas (LNG) parity with other fuels, such as diesel, when used in marine transportation on inland U.S. waterways.

Companies with some extensive marine and liquefied natural gas (LNG) expertise have joined in an effort to provide LNG as a maritime fuel globally, the three companies announced Thursday. They said the goal is to make LNG the “marine fuel of choice.”

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has fined a Sunoco Logistics Partners LP subsidiary $59,000 as part of a settlement agreement with the company related to violations of the state’s Dam Safety and Encroachments Act.

Sunoco Logistics Partners LP is considering constructing a third pipeline to deliver Appalachian natural gas liquids (NGL) to its Marcus Hook Industrial Complex on the Delaware River south of Philadelphia, a company spokesman confirmed Thursday.
