Oneok completes pipeline, processing facility projects

Oneok Partners LP announced last month the completion of three projects, part of its $4.7 billion to $5.3 billion growth program through 2015. These projects include the Bakken NGL Pipeline, which transports unfractionated natural gas liquids (NGLs) from the Bakken shale and Three Forks formations in the Williston Basin to the partnership’s 50 percent-owned Overland Pass Pipeline, a 760-mile NGL pipeline extending from southern Wyoming to Conway, Kan.; the Stateline II natural gas processing facility in western Williams County, N.D.; and an ethane header pipeline that creates a new point of interconnection between the partnership’s Mont Belvieu, Texas, NGL fractionation assets and several petrochemical customers. Part of the ethane header pipeline volume will come from the partnership’s new ethane/propane splitter, which has the capacity to produce 32,000 barrels per day (bpd) of purity ethane and 8,000 bpd of propane, and is expected to be in service during the second quarter 2014.
