Crosstex Energy LPhas completed phase one of the Cajun-Sibon natural gas liquids (NGL) expansion project, which connects the partnership’s Eunice fractionator in South Louisiana to Mont Belvieu, TX, supply pipelines in East Texas. Commercial deliveries of NGL product to the Eunice, Riverside and Plaquemine fractionators began in early October. The Eunice fractionator began operations on Nov. 6 at a rate of 15,000 b/d of NGLs. The pipeline is currently delivering 25,000-30,000 b/d of product into various Louisiana delivery points and is expected to be moving its full volume of 70,000 b/d by the end of 2013. The second phase of the expansion is scheduled for completion in the second-half of 2014 and includes expanding the Cajun-Sibon pipeline capacity by an additional 50,000 b/d to a total of 120,000 b/d; the installation of a 100,000 b/d fractionator adjacent to the partnership’s existing Plaquemine gas processing complex; the modification of the Riverside fractionator facility; and the construction of several natural gas and NGL pipelines to expand the partnership’s capabilities and market connectivity.
