Projects

Spectra Energy Corp. has closed its acquisition of the Express-Platte Pipeline System, purchasing 100% interest in the 1,717-mile, crude oil system for $1.49 billion.

Explorer Pipeline’s board of directors has approved funding for Phase 1 of the Manhattan Extension Project.

ONEOK Partners, L.P. has completed three projects that are part of its previously announced $4.7-5.3 billion growth program through 2015, including:

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. has received transportation commitments to support development of a 270-mile pipeline header system that will deliver ethane to petrochemical plants in the U.S. Gulf Coast region.

Sierrita Gas Pipeline LLC has filed an application requesting a Presidential Permit and authorization to construct border crossing pipeline facilities and export of natural gas at the International Boundary between the United States and Mexico in Pima County, AZ.

Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. held a binding open season in March for its Mariner South Pipeline that will transport export grade propane and butane from Lone Star NGL LLC’s storage and fractionation complex in Mont Belvieu, TX to Sunoco Logistics’ terminal in Nederland, TX.

National Grid began construction in late March to connect its existing distribution systems in Brooklyn and Queens which will provide additional natural gas and meet future energy needs for customers. This is the first pipeline to be installed in the area in 50 years.

A panel discussion was recently waged by a Canadian, an American and a Mexican talking about North America’s energy future as the new Middle East for the rest of the world. Hyperbole was cheap, but chances of the provocative scenario becoming a reality ride squarely on the shoulders of Mexico. And everyone was OK with this.

Work is set to start this summer on Tallgrass Energy Partners’ Pony Express Pipeline expansion. The pipeline will be comprised of a converted portion of an existing natural gas pipeline and new construction.

Cheniere Energy Partners’ subsidiary, Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC, has entered into an LNG sale and purchase agreement with Centrica plc under which Centrica will buy 91,250,000 MMBtu of annual LNG volumes upon the start-up of Train 5 operations.
