A second phase of a pipeline built to carry natural gas liquids out of the Permian Basin to the Gulf Coast has been completed by EPIC Midstream Holdings, LP.
The company said Phase Two of the EPIC Natural Gas Liquids pipeline runs from DLK Black River Midstream to Benedum Texas. It means more than 200 miles of the total 700 mile pipeline project are now in service.
The completion came just three months after the first phase was finished. Work is still underway on Phase Three to run from Benedum to Corpus Christi, Texas.
The line is now connected to five processing complexes that have a capacity of one billion cubic feet. When it is finished, the EPIC pipeline will have a capacity of more than 440,000 barrels a day.
EPIC started construction in December 2017 after signing an agreement with BP Energy Company to anchor the 700-mile line to link producers’ NGL reserves in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins.
