This construction is in line with ETP signing multiple long-term agreements with shippers for providing additional transportation services from the Eagle Ford Shale located in South Texas.
These projects will expand the partnership’s midstream infrastructure in the Eagle Ford, which includes the recently completed Dos Hermanas Pipeline and the Chisholm Pipeline.
Both the pipelines are slated to be completed in the second quarter of 2011.
The company said that the Rich Eagle Ford Mainline (REM) will be able to process 400 million cubic feet per day, with an expandable capacity to 800 million cubic feet per day.
This gas gathering system, which is expected to be in service by the fourth quarter of 2011, will originate in Dimmitt County, Texas and extend to the partnership’s Chisholm Pipeline for the final deliveries to its existing processing plants and to a new 120,000mcf per day processing plant.
