Energy Transfer opens another new gas pipeline

Energy Transfer LP based in Dallas announced its Mariner East 2 natural gas liquids pipeline is in service carrying products from Ohio and across West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

The 350-mile NGL pipeline carris the ethane, propane and butane east to Energy Transfer’s Marcus Hook Industrial Complex in Delaware County, Pennsylvania

Mariner East 2 is part of Energy Transfer’s Mariner East system of pipelines designed to provide much-needed NGL takeaway capacity for the Marcellus and Utica Shale production areas in Eastern Ohio, West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.

The Mariner East 2X pipeline, which parallels Mariner East 2, is expected to be in service in late 2019. The Mariner East system will provide both operational flexibility and enhanced security of NGL supply from producing areas to key markets in the region and beyond.
