LATEST JOB REPORTS


PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES ments with Shell Exploration & Production to construct a new natural gas gathering system located in the core of the Delaware Basin. Brazos’ new midstream infrastructure is anchored by fifteen-year, fee-based acreage dedications totaling 55 000 acres in Loving, Ward, and Winkler coun-ties. Brazos will construct 16 miles of high-pressure pipe-line that will extend from the Company’s existing gathering and processing systems and can be expanded further to support multi-well pad development by current producer customers, as well as other producers in the area. Brazos also announced it recently commissioned the Comanche III plant, a 200 million ft3/d cryogenic natural gas processing plant. Comanche III, which began processing volumes in the first quarter of 2019, is the third plant in Brazos’ natural gas processing complex, located in Reeves County, Texas, and brings Brazos’ total operated processing capacity in the region to 460 million ft3/d. Brazos anticipates further expansion of its processing complex with Comanche IV, a new 200 million ft3/d plant, and expects construction to be-gin as early as 2020.

Bridger Pipeline LLC, together with its affiliates, Liberty Pipeline LLC, and Red Oak Pipeline LLC announced that they have launched a supplemental open season seeking

additional crude oil transportation commitments for joint service from production areas in the Rockies and Bakken to Cushing, Oklahoma and Gulf Coast destinations includ-ing Corpus Christi, Ingleside, and Houston, Texas.

Liberty Pipeline LLC is a 50/50 joint venture of Phillips 66 and Bridger Pipeline LLC. Liberty Pipeline LLC is con-structing a 24-inch pipeline that will provide crude oil trans-portation service from Guernsey, Wyoming to Cushing, Oklahoma. Red Oak Pipeline LLC is a 50/50 joint venture of Phillips 66 and Plains All American Pipeline.

The FERC has prepared a favorable Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Calcasieu Pass LNG Project. The proposed project would include a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal and 23.4 miles of 42-inch pipeline in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The terminal would include the following facilities: liquefaction facilities; two full-con-tainment LNG above ground storage tanks, each with a usable capacity of approximately 200,000 cubic meters; a 720 megawatt electric generating plant; a marine terminal consisting of a turning basin and LNG carrier berths; LNG piping; transfer lines; loading facilities; and other infrastruc-ture. The pipeline would include the following facilities: one

The staff of the FERC has prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Annova LNG Brownsville Project (referred to as the Annova LNG Project, or Proj-ect). Annova LNG Common Infrastructure, LLC; Annova LNG Brownsville A, LLC; Annova LNG Brownsville B, LLC; and Annova LNG Brownsville C, LLC (collectively Annova), request authorization to site, construct, and operate a liq-uefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Cameron County, Texas. The project would include a new LNG export termi-

nal capable of producing up to 6.95 million metric tons per year of LNG for export. The LNG terminal would receive natural gas to the export facilities from a third-party intra-state pipeline. Annova anticipates a five-year construction period if the project is authorized. The facilities for the proj-ect include the following major components: gas pretreat-ment facilities; liquefaction facilities (six liquefaction trains and six approximately 72,000 horsepower [hp] electric motor-driven compressors); two LNG storage tanks; boil-

off gas handling system; flare systems; ma-rine facilities; control, administration, and support buildings; access road; fencing and barrier wall; and utilities (power, water, and communication). If approved, construction is slated for 2022 with a partial in-service date of 2024.

Bluewater Gas Storage has proposed a compressor project designed to increase operating pressure for its system. Bluewa-ter’s current interconnection with Vector Pipeline does not allow direct delivery of the required amount of customers’ natural gas needs due to the varying pressures between the Bluewater and Vector systems. This has required rerouting the natural gas to other third-party pipelines for delivery, which re-sults in additional costs. A new compres-sor would increase Bluewater’s operating pressure, taking full advantage of the Vec-tor Pipeline interconnection and eliminating excess costs for rerouting the contracted amount of natural gas. Bluewater has sub-mitted a pre-filing application with the FERC for the project and has received a Notice on Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assess-ment. Pending Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and state review and approval, construction is expected to start in mid-2020 with completion in 2021.

Brazos Midstream has announced it has executed gathering and processing agree-

meter station; three mainline valves; one pipeline inspec-tion/cleaning device launcher at the meter station; and one pipeline inspection/cleaning device receiver on the terminal site. The FERC concludes that construction and operation of the project would result in some adverse environmental impacts, but these impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels.

Venture Global LNG, Inc. is proud to announce that the company’s $5.8 billion Calcasieu Pass LNG construction financing has received over $10 billion in binding commit-ments from Initial Coordinating Lead Arrangers. The trans-action is nearly two times oversubscribed, prior to retail syn-dication. The proceeds of the construction financing, along with the equity investment from Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners, will fund the construction and commissioning of the Calcasieu Pass facility and the associated TransCam-eron pipeline. The lender group includes the world’s lead-ing Asian, European and North American project finance banks. The bank group is Banco Santander, S.A, Bank of America, N.A., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Limited, ING Capital LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., Natixis, Nomura Securities International, Inc., Royal Bank of Canada, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and The Bank of Nova Scotia.

Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner has made a positive Final Investment Decision with respect to Train 6 at the Sabine Pass liquefaction project (“SPL Project”) in Cameron Par-ish, Louisiana, and Cheniere Partners has issued full no-tice to proceed with construction to Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc. Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC, a subsid-iary of Cheniere Partners, is developing, constructing and operating natural gas liquefaction facilities at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana adjacent to the existing regasification facilities. The Sabine Pass site can readily accommodate up to six liquefaction trains capable of processing over 3.5 Bcf/d of natural gas. The production capacity of each LNG train is designed for approximately 4.5 mtpa. The 1000+ acre Sabine Pass site is strategically situated to provide LNG export services giv-en its large acreage position, proximity to unconventional gas plays in Louisiana and Texas, its interconnections with multiple interstate and intrastate pipeline systems, and its premier marine access less than 4 miles from the Gulf Coast. The construction costs of the liquefaction capacity is competitive due to expansion economics, since the Sa-bine Pass LNG terminal already has many of the facilities required for an export terminal. Sabine Pass Liquefaction has access to the existing infrastructure, including five stor-age tanks and two berths, as well as Cheniere Partner’s 94-mile Creole Trail Pipeline, which was reconfigured to reverse the flow of natural gas, making it a bi-directional

pipeline. Trains 1 through 5 are in operation. A positive Fi-nal Investment Decision was reached for Train 6 in May 2019, and full notice to proceed with construction was is-sued to Bechtel. Over 20 million tonnes per annum of LNG production capacity from Sabine Pass Trains 1-6 has been contracted to long-term third-party customers. Customers of SPL include Shell, Naturgy, KOGAS, GAIL, Total, Cen-trica, PETRONAS, and Vitol. Any excess capacity not sold under long-term SPAs is available for our integrated mar-keting function to sell into the global market. Our business model differs from other U.S. LNG projects in that in ad-dition to processing natural gas into LNG (tolling model), we will procure the natural gas supply used for feedstock. Once the natural gas is liquefied, the customer takes de-livery at the tailgate of the terminal. As a result, Cheniere is expected to become one of the largest buyers of natural gas in the U.S. once all of the trains are operational.

The staff of the FERC has a favorable Environmental As-sessment (EA) for the Cheyenne Connector Pipeline Project and the Cheyenne Hub Enhancement Project, proposed by Cheyenne Connector, LLC and Rockies Ex-press Pipeline LLC. The applicants are requesting authori-zation to construct approximately 71 miles of new 36-inch-diameter pipeline, five new meter and regulating stations, and one new compressor station all in Weld County, Colo-rado (Cheyenne Connector Pipeline). The Cheyenne Hub Enhancement Project includes the following facilities: one new approximately 32,100 horsepower compressor sta-tion; enhancements to modify Rockies Express’ existing Cheyenne Hub interconnect facilities, including installation of pipe, valves, fittings, filters, and ancillary equipment; and ancillary facilities constructed at Rockies Express’ exist-ing Cheyenne Hub, consisting of station piping, vibration reducing equipment, compressor and electrical buildings, valves, and gas cooling equipment.

Cogent Midstream, LLC will construct an approximately 25-mile pipeline that will deliver residue gas from its Big Lake Natural Gas Processing Complex located in Reagan County in the Midland Basin of West Texas to Kinder Mor-gan’s Gulf Coast Express Pipeline (GCX Pipeline). In addi-tion to the GCX Pipeline, Cogent’s residue pipeline is also expected to cross the proposed Permian Highway Pipeline and Whistler Pipeline projects. Cogent’s 20-inch pipeline is anticipated to come into service in the fourth quarter of 2019 and have a total capacity of approximately 400 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d). The pipeline’s in-service date coincides with Cogent’s fourth-quarter timeline for com-missioning its Big Lake II natural gas cryogenic processing plant. Currently under construction, the Big Lake II Plant has the nameplate capacity to process 200 MMcf/d and will bring Cogent’s total processing capacity to approximately 510 MMcf/d.

Columbia Gas Transmission has received a favorable Environmental Assessment from the FERC for the Buck-eye Xpress Project. A final project decision is slated for mid-August 2019. The proposed project will include re-placement of approximately 64 miles of existing, aging 20-inch and 24-inch natural gas pipeline from Vinton, Ohio, to Burlington, Ohio, on a portion of Columbia’s R-System. Co-lumbia proposes to replace the existing pipeline potentially with 36-inch pipeline necessary to provide 275,000 Dth/d of additional firm capacity for the project. Upon completion, the replaced line will be known as R-801. Columbia is pro-posing to place the project into service in November 2020. A phased in-service approach may be considered once customer negotiations are complete.

The staff of the will prepare an Environmental Assessment that will discuss the environmental impacts of the Mainline 100 and Mainline 200 Replacement Project involving construction and operation of facilities by Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC in Menifee and Montgomery Coun-ties, Kentucky. Columbia proposes replacing the existing Class 2 Mainline 100 and Mainline 200 pipelines with Class 3 pipelines. The replacement of Mainline 100 and Main-line 200 consists of the abandonment and replacement of

approximately 2,650 feet of pipeline associated with Main-line 100 and Mainline 200. New pipeline facilities include the construction and operation of two sections of Mainline 100 and two sections of Mainline 200, which represent ap-proximately 0.44 miles of new 30-inch-diameter natural gas transmission pipe, within Montgomery and Menifee Coun-ties, Kentucky.

Driftwood LNG LLC and Driftwood Pipeline LLC, have received a positive Final Environmental Impact Statement from the FERC for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities and certain interstate, natural gas transmission pipeline facilities in Evangeline, Acadia, Jefferson Davis, and Calcasieu Parishes, Louisiana. The project would provide gas and processing to produce up to 26 million tonnes per annum of LNG for export. The project facilities include five LNG plants; three LNG storage tanks; three marine berths capable of accommodating LNG carriers of up to 216, each; 74 miles of 48-inch pipeline, 10.6 miles of 42-inch pipeline; 11.3 miles of 36-inch pipeline; and 1 mile of 30-inch lateral pipeline collated with the main pipe-line; three compressor stations providing a total of 275,000 horsepower of compression; six pig launchers and receiver facilities, 15 meter stations, and 17 mainline valves.

will originate in northern Montana for delivery to Gulf Coast markets. Subject to sufficient commitments from shippers and receipt of any necessary permits and regulatory ap-provals, the existing System capacity will be expanded by up to an additional 70,000 barrels per day, and service on the expanded System is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2021.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. announced that ser-vice recently began on the third train at its Orla cryogenic natural gas processing plant in Reeves County, Texas. The completion of the final announced processing unit at Orla increases natural gas processing capacity at the facility to 900 million cubic feet per day and allows Enterprise to pro-duce in excess of 140,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids. Throughout the Permian Basin, Enterprise now has the capability to process 1.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas and produce approximately 200,000 BPD of NGLs. “The three trains at Orla that have been brought online over the past year reflect Enterprise’s agility and commitment to pro-viding timely and efficient solutions for facilitating produc-tion growth in the prolific Permian Basin,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general part-ner. “And we are not through yet expanding our processing capabilities in the Permian. The Mentone cryogenic natural gas processing facility in Loving County, Texas, which will have the capacity to process 300 MMcf/d of natural gas and extract in excess of 40,000 BPD of NGLs, is on sched-ule for completion in the first quarter of 2020, and we are actively negotiating contracts with customers to underwrite additional capacity.” Orla and Mentone extend Enterprise’s value chain in the Permian and Delaware basins, linking customers to the company’s integrated pipeline network, including the recently completed Shin Oak pipeline and the Texas Intrastate natural gas system. In addition, the com-pany’s Mont Belvieu complex, where 300,000 BPD of frac-tionation capacity is under construction and expected to be available in 2020, as well as an extensive system.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P announced three addi-tional expansion projects that will increase the partnership’s capacity to load liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”), polymer grade propylene (“PGP”) and crude oil from its Enterprise Hydrocarbon Terminal (“EHT”) on the Houston Ship Chan-nel. Currently, Enterprise’s nameplate LPG loading capac-ity is approximately 660,000 barrels per day (BPD). Pre-viously, Enterprise announced a project to add 175,000 BPD of LPG loading capacity, which is currently under con-struction and expected to be completed late third quarter of 2019. The additional projects announced will increase incremental LPG loading capacity by another 260,000 BPD and are expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2020. When completed, the projects will give EHT name-plate capacity to load up to almost 1.1 million BPD of LPG, or approximately 33 million barrels per month. In response

to record demand for PGP by international markets, the partnership is adding refrigeration facilities at its Houston Ship Channel terminal that will enable Enterprise to load up to an incremental 67,200 BPD, or approximately 2 mil-lion barrels per month, of fully refrigerated PGP. With this expansion project, Enterprise will increase flexibility by of-fering customers the capability to co-load fully refrigerated PGP and LPG onto the same vessel. This expansion is ex-pected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2020. As part of the expansion, Enterprise is also building an eighth dock at its Houston Ship Channel terminal with the capability to load approximately 840,000 BPD of crude oil, increasing the partnership’s nameplate export capacity for crude oil at the Houston Ship Channel to 2.75 million BPD, or nearly 83 million barrels per month. Expected to begin service in the fourth quarter of 2020, the new dock will be able to ac-commodate a Suezmax vessel, the largest ship class that can navigate the Houston Ship Channel. Enterprise esti-mates that by 2025 exports of U.S. crude oil will increase from 3 million BPD to 8 million BPD and the domestic LPG export market will double from 1.4 million BPD to 2.8 BPD. Much of this growth is being driven by increasing produc-tion from the Permian Basin of Texas. The flexibility of the partnership’s integrated midstream network, combined with unmatched access to supplies, position Enterprise to capi-talize on future growth opportunities along the Gulf Coast.

It is reported that the Wink to Webster Pipeline proposed by ExxonMobil, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., and Lotus Midstream, LLC has been cancelled. The proposed Wink to Webster Pipeline included construction of approx. 650 miles of 36-inch pipeline. The pipeline would have been constructed from the Permian Basin in West Texas to the Texas Gulf Coast.

Freeport LNG announced it has received approval from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the export of Train 4 volumes to Non-Free Trade Agreement countries.

peak Infrastructure Partners (Stonepeak) andWest Texas Gas, Inc. (WTG) have reached a final investment decision to move forward with the design and construction of the Whistler Pipeline after having secured sufficient firm transportation agreements with shippers. The majority of available capacity on the planned pipeline has been sub-scribed and committed by long-term transportation agree-ments. WhiteWater and MPLX expect that the remaining capacity will be fully subscribed in coming months. The Whistler Pipeline is being designed to transport approxi-mately 2 billion ft3/d of natural gas through approximately 475 miles of 42 inch pipeline from Waha, Texas, to the Agua Dulce area in South Texas. Supply for the Whistler Pipeline would be sourced from multiple upstream connections in the Permian Basin, including direct connections to plants in the Midland Basin through an approximately 50 mile, 30 in. pipeline lateral, as well as a direct connection to the 1.4 billion ft3/d Agua Blanca Pipeline, a joint venture be-tween WhiteWater, MPLX and Targa. Agua Blanca Pipeline crosses through the heart of the Delaware Basin, including portions of Culberson, Loving, Pecos, Reeves, Winkler and Ward counties. The Whistler Pipeline is expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2021, pending the receipt of customary regulatory and other approvals.

Medallion Pipeline Company, LLC announced a bind-ing open season to solicit binding, long-term commitments for firm transportation utilizing capacity that Medallion has leased on the crude oil pipeline owned by EPIC Crude Pipeline, LP (EPIC Pipeline). The EPIC Pipeline, which is currently being constructed, will provide potential shippers with access to multiple destination points including refinery and crude oil export markets through the Port of Corpus Christi. Prospective shippers will have the opportunity to participate in the open season to acquire firm transporta-tion capacity by making a minimum volume commitment of 10,000 barrels per day to Medallion pursuant to a volume commitment transportation agreement (Transportation Services Agreement). The existing Medallion pipeline is a network of approximately 800 miles of 6-inch and larger crude oil pipeline in the Midland Basin. The Medallion sys-tem consists of eight pipeline segments providing diversi-fied market access to seven downstream pipelines, which interconnect with the Medallion system at three major mar-ket hubs at the Crane Hub, Midland Hub, Colorado City Hub as well as the Alon USA Big Spring refinery. At the Crane Hub, the Medallion Pipeline will interconnect with the EPIC Pipeline. Service utilizing the leased capacity is expected to commence during the first quarter of 2020. The open season began July 19, 2019 and ends Friday, August 16, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time.

Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. and Navigator En-ergy Services has its extended open season for commit-ments from shippers for the planned Voyager Pipeline to

August 30, 2019. The pipeline will transfer different grades of light crude oil and condensate from Cushing, OK to Hous-ton, TX. Potential shippers continue to project consider-able interest, especially the ones that reach Voyager from connecting carriers in numerous producing regions. The extension offers these shippers additional time to confirm their commitments across multiple pipelines and appraise a new origin point near Midland. The proposed Voyager pipeline will involve construction of almost 500 miles of 20- or 24-inch diameter pipeline from Magellan Midstream's terminal in Cushing to its facility in East Houston. Originat-ing from the Cushing, the pipeline will enable shippers to begin deliveries at Cushing from the Magellan Midstream-operated Saddlehorn Pipeline serving the Rockies and Bakken production regions, Navigator's Glass Mountain Pipeline serving the Mid-Continent basin as well as other connections within the strategic Cushing crude oil hub. On request of potential shippers, the sponsors are assessing the addition of a Midland origin to provide further supply flexibility from the prolific Permian Basin. The Midland ori-gin is likely to be accomplished in phases through Voyag-er's use of an existing Magellan pipeline that may become inoperative in the near future. This is part of the company's announced West Texas refined products pipeline expan-sion project. Voyager will have the capability to use an ex-isting terminal in Frost to construct assets and connect to the Cushing-to-Houston segment. At the destination, the widespread Houston crude oil distribution system will de-liver the multiple grades of crude oil to Houston and Texas refineries. Also, the delivery will be made to export facili-ties like the terminal owned by Seabrook Logistics, LLC, which is owned 50% by Magellan Midstream. Initially, the Voyager Pipeline is anticipated to have an initial capacity of at least 300,000 barrels per day, as proposed. Eventu-ally the capacity will expand further if the industry demand increases. The pipeline is estimated to come online in late 2020.

Midcoast Energy, LLC, through an East Texas operating subsidiary, has entered into a commercial agreement with an anchor shipper to support the expansion of its pipe-line system to provide transportation of natural gas sup-plies from East Texas to the Texas Gulf Coast (“CJ Ex-press”).

newly created capacity on ONEOK’s Elk Creek expansion. Subject to shipper demand, required new infrastructure to enable the proposed new movements is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2019. Mountain Valley Pipeline formally applied for approval to construct a 73-mile natural gas pipeline extending from Chatham across state lines into North Carolina. The pipe-line extension, the Southgate Project would connect with Mountain Valley’s contentious mainline that’s set to end in Pittsylvania County. For the project to receive the neces-sary permits, MVP must prove to the FERC there is a need for the pipeline and all efforts have been made to limit the impact to the public. Issuance of the Final Environmental Impact Statement from the FERC for the project is expect-ed in December 2019 with a final FERC decision slated for March 2020.

Nicor will be placing a job out for bid called the Dubuque Phase 4 project. Proposed construction is approximately 12.8 miles of 24-inch pipeline in Galina, Illinois. Worked is anticipated to begin in January 2020.

The staff of the FERC will prepare an Environmental As-sessment that will discuss the environmental impacts of the Bushton to Clifton A-line Abandonment Project involv-ing construction and operation of facilities by Northern Nat-ural Gas Company in Clay, Cloud, Ellsworth, Lincoln, Ot-tawa, and Rice counties in Kansas. Northern is proposing to abandon in-place the A-line facilities consisting of approxi-mately 92.76 miles of 26-inch pipeline on Northern’s M640A and M630A and 15.74 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline on its M640J pipeline systems and other appurtenant facilities. Northern proposes to construct and operate an additional natural gas-driven ISO rated 11,152 horsepower Solar Mars turbine unit (Unit No. 6) at the existing Tescott compressor station located in Ottawa County, Kansas. The unit will tie into station piping that is connected to Northern's existing mainlines. Approximately 85 feet of 24-inch-diameter sta-tion piping, approximately 40 feet of 36-inch station piping, and approximately 80 feet of 8-inch station piping will be re-moved to accommodate tie-ins. After abandonment, North-ern will continue to operate the other pipelines in its right-of-way and maintain its pipeline easements with the exception of a segment of Jline that will be abandoned in place.

NuStar Energy L.P. recently held a Binding Open Sea-son for committed refined product transportation on the expanded capacity of its Valley Pipeline System in South Texas. The Valley Pipeline System is an approximately 196-mile refined products pipeline from the Corpus Christi, TX area, to delivery points in Brownsville, TX, Edinburg, TX and Harlingen, TX. The current Valley Pipeline System is capable of transporting approximately 45,000 barrels per day (BPD). The expansion project, which includes the con-

struction of a 75-mile loop of the pipeline segment between Seeligson, TX and Edinburg, TX, and improvements at pump stations along the line, is expected to increase the capacity of the Valley Pipeline System by approximately 45,000 BPD. Based on significant customer commitments to utilize the expanded capacity, NuStar is proceeding with the project and the binding open season is intended for ad-ditional customer interest for the offered capacity and po-tential further capacity expansion. NuStar is proposing to make up to 90 percent of the expanded capacity available to shippers making long-term, ship-or-pay commitments, with at least 10 percent available for walk-up shippers. The project is expected to be in service in the 4th quarter of 2019. ONEOK, Inc. is investing approximately $2.3 billion be-tween now and 2020 to construct: a new 400,000-barrel per day (bpd) natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline – the Ar-buckle II Pipeline – that will create additional NGL trans-portation capacity between ONEOK's extensive Mid-Conti-nent infrastructure in Oklahoma and the company's existing NGL facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas; a new 125,000 bpd NGL fractionator – MB-4 – in Mont Belvieu, Texas, and re-lated infrastructure; and a new 200-million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility – the Demicks Lake plant and related infrastructure – in the Williston Ba-sin. Arbuckle II Pipeline and MB-4: The approximately 530-mile, 24- and 30-inch diameter Arbuckle II Pipeline is expected to cost approximately $1.36 billion and will have an initial capacity to transport up to 400,000 bpd of unfrac-tionated NGLs originating across ONEOK's supply basins and extensive NGL gathering system to the company's storage and fractionation facilities at Mont Belvieu. The Ar-buckle II Pipeline is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2020. The pipeline will have the capability to be expanded up to 1 million bpd with additional pump facilities, which could more than double ONEOK's current capacity between the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast. The new MB-4 fractionator and related infrastructure, which includes addi-tional NGL storage capacity in Mont Belvieu, are expected to cost approximately $575 million and be completed in the first quarter 2020. ONEOK's total NGL fractionation capac-ity will increase to 965,000 bpd following the completion of MB-4. The initial capacity of the Arbuckle II Pipeline is more than 50 percent contracted, and MB-4 is fully contracted. Both are anchored by long-term contracts with terms rang-ing between 10 to 20 years. Adjusted EBITDA multiples for these projects are based only from these commitments but additional supply agreements continue to be negotiated. Demicks Lake plant and related infrastructure: The Demicks Lake natural gas processing plant and related field infrastructure are expected to cost a total of approx-imately $400 million and be completed during the fourth quarter 2019. The Demicks Lake plant will be built in McK-enzie County, North Dakota, which is in the core area of the

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES Williston Basin. The plant is supported by acreage dedica-tions with primarily fee-based contracts. The Demicks Lake plant is expected to contribute additional NGL volumes to ONEOK's NGL gathering system and natural gas volumes to ONEOK's 50 percent-owned Northern Border Pipeline. ONEOK's Williston Basin natural gas processing capac-ity will increase to more than 1.2 billion cubic feet per day following the completion of the Demicks Lake plant.

Phillips 66 and Bridger Pipeline LLC recently held a joint open season for the proposed Liberty Pipeline, which will provide shippers the opportunity to secure crude oil trans-portation service from the Rockies and Bakken production areas to Corpus Christi, Texas. The Liberty Pipeline is ex-pected to have an initial throughput capacity of 350,000 barrels per day (BPD) with the ability to expand further depending on shipper interest in the open season. The pipeline is anticipated to be placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Phillips 66 and Plains All American Pipeline announced that they have formed a 50/50 joint venture, Red Oak Pipeline LLC, and are proceeding with construction of the

Red Oak Pipeline system. The pipeline system will pro-vide crude oil transportation service from Cushing, Okla-homa, and the Permian Basin in West Texas to Corpus Christi, Ingleside, Houston and Beaumont, Texas. Red Oak is underpinned with long-term shipper volume com-mitments. Initial service from Cushing to the Gulf Coast is targeted to commence as early as the first quarter of 2021, subject to receipt of applicable permits and regulatory ap-provals. The Red Oak joint venture will lease capacity in Plains’ Sunrise Pipeline system, which extends from Mid-land to Wichita Falls, Texas. The joint venture plans to construct a new 30-inch pipeline from Cushing to Wichita Falls and Sealy, Texas. From Sealy, the joint venture will construct a 30-inch pipeline segment to Corpus Christi and Ingleside and a 20-inch pipeline segment to Hous-ton and Beaumont. Where feasible, Red Oak will utilize existing pipeline and utility corridors and advanced con-struction techniques to limit environmental and community impact. Plains will lead project construction on behalf of the joint venture, and Phillips 66 will operate the pipeline. The project is expected to cost approximately $2.5 billion.

Phillips 66’s PSX crude oil pipeline joint ventures (JVs) announced supplemental open seasons for additional transportation capacity of the commodity. The open sea-son is meant for additional shippers willing to carry crude volumes for a long term to destinations including Cushing, Oklahoma and Gulf Coast from Bakken and Rockies. It is to be noted that Phillips 66’s JVs are Liberty Pipeline LLC and Red Oak Pipeline LLC. With Phillips 66, the JV partner of Liberty Pipeline LLC is Bridger Pipeline LLC. In the JV, each party has a 50% interest. The JV partners for Red Oak Pipeline are Phillips 66 and Plains All American Pipeline (PAA). The 24-inch pipeline that Liberty Pipeline LLC is constructing is meant to carry crude to Cushing, OK from Guernsey, WY. The date when the pipeline is likely to initiate operations is the first quarter of 2021. Phillips 66 will be the operator of the pipeline whose cost is esti-mated by the company at $1.6 billion. Notably, the pipe-line projects will assure producers in Bakken and Rockies that their increased production of crude oil volumes will be transported to key destinations in the United States and across the globe, according to Bridger Pipeline LLC.

An affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline announced a binding open season for long-term commitments for light

crude oil transportation service on its Western Corridor Pipeline System. The open season service will originate in northern Montana for delivery to Gulf Coast markets. Subject to sufficient commitments from shippers and re-ceipt of any necessary permits and regulatory approvals, the existing System capacity will be expanded by up to an additional 70,000 barrels per day, and service on the ex-panded System is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2021.

Plains Pipeline, L.P. has filed an application with the Bu-reau of Land Management seeking to replace its roughly 127-mile pipeline, which includes approximately 14 miles of federal lands within Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Kern counties, CA. The public comment period ended June 3. Plains Pipeline, L.P. is requesting the use of ex-isting rights-of-way to replace its pipeline that transports crude oil from production platforms and oilfields off the California Coast to refinery facilities in the San Joaquin Valley. The pipeline replacement project spans multiple local, state and federal jurisdictions—113 miles of private and state lands; six miles of BLM-managed public land, including four miles within the Carrizo Plain National Mon-ument; two miles of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service man-aged lands in the Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge; and six miles of U.S. Forest Service managed land in the Los Padres National Forest. Santa Barbara County is the lead agency for the environmental analysis on private and state owned lands. The BLM is the lead agency conduct-ing the environmental analysis on federal lands.

Tallgrass Energy, LP (TGE) recently held an open sea-son that closed May 15, 2019 for the proposed Seahorse Pipeline. The project is expected to be 30 inches in diam-eter and approximately 700 miles long, with the capacity to transport up to 800,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the Cushing oil hub to the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Reports indicate that Tallgrass is in talks with a second anchor shipper to be able to bring its planned Seahorse crude oil pipeline to fruition. While TGE possibly could unveil a final investment decision on the project in the next few months, competition from seven projects announced after Seahorse are making it "complicated" to sign new ship-pers, the CEO said. The Seahorse pipeline would operate as a multi-grade common batch system that, along with Tallgrass’ Pony Express Pipeline, will ensure domestic refiners and international markets have access to “neat” barrels from five different production basins. Seahorse is expected to start commercial operations in the third quar-ter of 2021. While TGE possibly could unveil a final invest-ment decision on the project in the next few months, com-petition from seven projects announced after Seahorse are making it "complicated" to sign new shippers, the CEO said. In addition, to accommodate shipper interest and continued growth in the Powder River, Denver-Jules-

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES burg and Bakken producing regions, Tallgrass expects to complete pump optimization projects to expand capacity on its Pony Express Pipeline to enable it to transport up to 400,000 barrels per day by the end of the year. If shipper interest exceeds that added capacity, Tallgrass may ex-pand the Pony Express Pipeline further through potential additional horsepower and/or looping to facilitate large-scale movements from Guernsey and northeast Colorado. TGE plans to expand Pony Express capacity to 700K bbl/day by Q3 2020.

Tellurian Inc. announced that it has entered into defini-tive agreements with Total Delaware, Inc. and Total Gas & Power North America, Inc., subsidiaries of Total S.A., for Total Gas & Power to purchase one million tonnes per an-num (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Drift-wood LNG terminal (Driftwood) and for Total to invest $500 million in Driftwood Holdings LP. In addition, Tellurian and Total Gas & Power entered into a definitive sales and pur-chase agreement for an additional 1.5 mtpa of LNG from Tellurian’s LNG offtake volumes from Driftwood. The SPA is for the purchase of LNG free on board at a price based on the Platts Japan Korea Marker. The definitive agree-ments are consistent with the terms contemplated by the Heads of Agreement announced on April 3, 2019, and are subject to certain closing conditions, including the final investment decision (FID) to construct Driftwood.

The staff of the FERC has prepared a Final Environmen-tal Impact Statement (EIS) for the Texas LNG Project, proposed by Texas LNG Brownsville, LLC. Texas LNG is requesting authorization to site, construct, modify, and operate liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities on the Brownsville Ship Channel in Cameron County, Tex-as. The Texas LNG Project consists of a new LNG ter-minal on the north side of the Brownsville Ship Channel, 2.5 miles southwest of the Town of Port Isabel, Texas and 19 miles northeast of the City of Brownsville, Texas population center. Texas LNG would construct the LNG terminal on a 625-acre parcel owned by the Browns-ville Navigational District, with an additional 26.5 acres necessary outside of the parcel within the banks of the Brownsville Ship Channel to allow for deep water access to the Brownsville Ship Channel. The project consists of the following facilities: a gas gate station and inter-connect facility; a pretreatment facility to remove water, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, mercury, and heavier (pentane and above) hydrocarbons; a liquefaction facility consisting of two liquefaction trains and ancillary support facilities; two approximately 210,000 cubic meter (m3) aboveground full containment LNG storage tanks with cryogenic pipeline connections to the liquefaction facil-ity and berthing dock; an LNG carrier berthing dock ca-pable of receiving LNG carriers between approximately 130,000 m3 and 180,000 m3 capacity; a permanent ma-

terial offloading facility to allow waterborne deliveries of equipment and materials during construction and mooring of tug boats while an LNG carrier is at the berth; a ther-mal oxidizer, warm wet flare, cold dry flare, spare flare, acid gas flare, and marine flare; and administration, con-trol, maintenance, and warehouse buildings and related parking lots; electrical transmission line and substation, water pipeline, septic system, and stormwater facilities/outfalls. Natural gas would be delivered to the Texas LNG Project site via a non-jurisdictional, intrastate, 30-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline that would be constructed, owned, and operated by a third party, separate from Texas LNG. Final FERC decision on the project was expected in July 2019.

Tellurian held separate binding open seasons on two proposed pipelines that will connect areas of constrained shale production and debottleneck natural gas pipeline infrastructure, further enabling the rapidly growing indus-trial market in Southwest Louisiana. Tellurian’s subsidiary Haynesville Global Access Pipeline LLC is seeking to secure prospective shippers for a previously announced natural gas pipeline, the Haynesville Global Access Pipe-line (HGAP). HGAP is expected to be a 42-inch diam-

eter, approximately 160-mile interstate pipeline that will interconnect existing pipeline and production facilities in DeSoto Parish to the existing and proposed infrastruc-ture located near Gillis in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. HGAP is estimated to cost just over one billion dollars to construct and will have the capacity to transport up to two billion cubic feet of natural gas per day (bcf/d). Con-struction is projected to begin in 2022, with an in-service date of mid-2023. Tellurian’s subsidiary Delhi Connector Pipeline LLC is also conducting a binding open season to secure prospective shippers for its newly proposed Delhi Connector Pipeline (DCPL). DCPL is expected to be a 42-inch diameter, approximately 180-mile interstate pipeline connecting the Perryville/Delhi Hub in Richland Parish, Louisiana to Gillis, Louisiana. DCPL is estimat-ed to cost approximately $1.4 billion to construct and will have the capacity to transport at least two bcf/d of natural gas. Construction is projected to begin as early as 2021, with an in-service date as early as 2023. These two binding open seasons are in addition to Tellurian’s previously announced Permian Global Access Pipe-line binding open season. The open season concluded June 21, 2019.

Venture Global Plaquemines LNG, LLC (Plaquemines LNG) and Venture Global Gator Express, LLC (Gator Express Pipeline) have received a favorable Environ-mental Impact Statement from the FERC to construct a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal and pipeline facilities located in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. To-gether the proposals are referred to as the Plaquemines LNG and Project or Project. Plaquemines LNG and Gator Express Pipeline are proposing to construct and operate a new LNG export terminal and associated facilities along the west bank of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana (Terminal) and to construct and oper-ate two new 42-inch diameter natural gas pipeline later-als that will connect the Terminal to the pipeline facilities of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company and Texas Eastern Transmission. The two parallel and adjacent laterals (11.7 and 15.1 miles long) would be operated at an MAOP of 1,200 pounds per square inch and will be designed to provide firm transportation capacity of approximately 1,970,000 Dt/d to the Terminal. Total cost of the pipeline portion of the project is estimated to be approximately 284 million dollars.

Williams – Northwest Pipeline LLC is one of three in-terstate natural gas pipelines operated by The Williams Companies. The Northwest system extends from the San Juan Basin in northwestern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado through the states of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Washington to a point on the Canadian border near Sumas, Washington. Northwest provides nat-ural gas transportation service to the Seattle, Washington,

Portland, Oregon, and Boise, Idaho, markets. The North Seattle Lateral consists of two lines (laterals) branching off the 30-inch Northwest mainline at milepost (MP) 1,397.1. The first lateral measures 20 inches in diameter to MP 2.0, at which point the diameter measures 8 inches. The second lateral measures 16 inches in diameter. This proj-ect will replace a portion of this existing 8-inch line with new 20-inch pipe, beginning near MP 2.0 and extending up to approximately 5.85 miles. an in-line inspection facil-ity, currently located at MP 2.2, will be relocated to the end of the expanded portion of the line as part of the project. All pipe installed during the project will use the existing Northwest right-of-way corridor. Workspace or other use of land outside Northwest easements will be relatively mini-mal and temporary. FERC has issued a Notice to Proceed with construction.

Williams has plans for the Regional Energy Access, an incremental expansion of the Transco interstate pipeline to provide firm natural gas transportation capacity to mar-kets in the northeastern United States as early as Novem-ber 2022. Regional Energy Access is being designed to provide up to one million dekatherms per day of firm transportation capacity to the Transco pipeline's northeast market, including existing Pennsylvania and New Jersey local distribution companies and power generators. De-mand for natural gas in the Northeast continues to rise as businesses rely on natural gas to help meet clean air goals. Regional Energy Access minimizes environmen-tal impacts by maximizing the use of existing Transco pipeline infrastructure and rights of way. The preliminary design of the project consists of additional compression and selected pipeline loop segments along the existing Transco pipeline corridor. Although the final capacity, scope and cost of the project will be determined by the results of the open season, it is anticipated that the proj-ect will include approximately 34 miles of pipeline looping and additional compression along existing Transco facili-ties. The project will connect robust Marcellus supply from receipt points along the Transco pipeline’s Leidy Line in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, to delivery points in Penn-sylvania and New Jersey, including the Station 210 Zone 6 Pool in Mercer County, New Jersey, the Lower Mud Run Road interconnect in Northampton County, Pennsylva-nia, and along Transco’s mainline to Station 200, Mar-cus Hook lateral and Trenton Woodbury lateral. The pro-posed project will be subject to approval by the FERC and other agencies.

Williams reported that the FERC has issued a Certifi-cate of Public Convenience and Necessity authorizing the Northeast Supply Enhancement project – an expansion of the existing Transco natural gas pipeline designed to serve New York markets in time for the 2020/2021 winter heating season. The Northeast Supply Enhancement proj-

ect will provide 400,000 dekatherms per day of additional natural gas supply to National Grid – the largest distribu-tor of natural gas in the northeastern United States. Na-tional Grid is converting about 8,000 customers per year from heating oil to natural gas in New York City and Long Island. The Northeast Supply Enhancement Project is crit-ical to make these conversions possible, as well as keep up with new development in the area. The Order issued by the Commission concludes a nearly three-year regulatory review process, ultimately determining that the Northeast Supply Enhancement project will serve the public interest and that environmental impacts would be minimized with the implementation of mitigation measures proposed by the company and FERC. Following the receipt of all nec-essary regulatory approvals, Williams anticipates begin-ning construction on the Northeast Supply Enhancement project facilities in the fall of 2019.

Williams Partners L.P. has an application before the FERC seeking authorization for its Southeastern Trail Expansion project, which would create 296,375 deka-therms per day of additional firm transportation capac-ity to markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern U.S. for the 2020/2021 winter heating season. Williams Part-

ners has executed precedent agreements with utility and local distribution companies located in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia for firm transporta-tion service under the project. Once complete, the proj-ect will help meet the growing natural gas demand in the Southeast, as well as provide access to new sources of domestic natural gas supply while enhancing system reli-ability. The company held an open season for the project last summer and executed long-term binding precedent agreements with five natural gas shippers for 100 percent of the firm transportation capacity. Customers served by the project are PSNC Energy, South Carolina Electric & Gas, Virginia Natural Gas, the City of Buford, Ga., and the City of LaGrange, Ga. Subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Southeast-ern Trail Expansion project will consist of approximately 7.7 miles of 42-inch pipeline looping facilities in Virginia, horsepower additions at existing compressor stations in Virginia, and piping and valve modifications on other ex-isting facilities in South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana to allow for bi-directional flow. The project is anticipated to begin construction in August 2019 with a target in-service commitment of Nov. 1, 2020.

Choose PFERD wheels for fast, efficient work in your pipeline cutting and grinding applications. Contact us today!

Unparalleled stock removal rates on steel and stainless steel.

Cool cutting action with minimal discoloration.

Available in 4-1/2“, 5“, 6“, 7“, and 9“ diameters, with plain and threaded arbor hole options.



Weiler Abrasives, a leading provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface condition-ing, introduces its new Tiger Pipeliner Grinding Wheels and

Tiger Mech Notching Wheels developed specifically for de-manding pipeline applications. The company worked directly with pipeline welders and helpers, who tested the products and provided feedback on the wheels’ designs, allowing Weiler Abrasives to ensure that the wheels offer the highest perfor-mance possible and operate safely.

Tiger Pipeliner Grinding Wheels are designed to work right out of the box, aggressively digging in when grinding beads, fac-ing the land or prepping transitions — throughout the life of the wheel. This eliminates operators’ inclination to chip the wheels to gain a bite, reducing downtime and increasing safety. A unique design, along with a special mix of top-quality abrasive grains, delivers a fast cut rate and easily removes wagon tracks from the weld bead, while a strong bond delivers long wheel life without glazing on fresh welds. In addition, the wheels’ bond has been formulated for reduced chatter and vibration, which provides more comfortable operator use and keeps the wheel from jumping out of the bevel.

One wheel does it all. There is no longer the need to choose between a bead grinding wheel and a wheel designed for an-gle grinding or facing the land. Tiger Pipeliner Wheels can be used for all operations commonly done on the right of way or in the yard and feature angle-of-use markings to ensure safe

and proper use. Weiler Abrasives offers these Type 27 wheels in 1/8-inch thickness, all with 5/8-11 threaded arbors, and in diameters of 4-1/2, 6, 7 and 9 inches.

“These wheels were developed by input received from welder’s helpers and welders in the market,” says Tony Hufford, category manager – metal fabrication at Weiler Abrasives. “We worked the right of way with over 20 contractors in the Northeast and West Texas to develop, test and validate our unique design. In a traditional industry that doesn’t see much change, the next big thing has arrived!”

Tiger Mech Notching Wheels are the first of their kind in the in-dustry — manufactured slightly thinner than a 1/8-inch wheel to fit the thinner bevel. These high-performance wheels are ca-pable of grinding the starts and stops of the weld bead without widening or scarring the narrower channel created by the me-chanical pipe welding process. Like the Tiger Pipeliner Grinding Wheels, these ceramic-infused wheels for notching applications include a special blend of high-performance grains. They are designed to work on J and K bevels, while offering superior cuts and product life, and are available in wheel diameters of 4-1/2, 5 and 7 inches. “Everyone we talk to on the right of way is just using a prod-uct that fits,” says Hufford. “Now they have the choice to use a product specifically designed for mechanical welding — some-thing that did not exist yesterday.”

Chicago's oldest pipeline extracted in historic moment

On June 28, 2019, a Chi-cago pipeline in opera-tion since before the Civil War was honored and excavated. The cast-iron gas pipeline had been running from 1859 until just a week before, when the last customer using it

finally switched to a modern natural gas main.

A small working crew extracted the 17-foot-long pipe from a large hole and placed it on a flatbed truck at Hubbard and Or-leans streets in River North, in what the city's cultural historian, Tim Samuelson, called a historical occasion.

“It’s a tremendously big deal to see this amazing bit of history come out of the ground," Samuelson said.

Back in the 1800s when Chicago had under 112,000 people, the pipeline helped keep residents safe against crime at night by giving the city reliable light.

“Drawing from these pipes you could have a fixture in your house that would give reliable, brilliant light," Samuelson said. “Dark streets could now have a gas streetlight that would bright-ly make the street a safe place to walk.”

The excavation was part of the System Modernization Program, created by Peoples Gas in 2011 with the goal of replacing over 2,000 miles of natural gas pipeline in Chicago.

The pipe may be out of the streets, but a portion of it will live on. It's scheduled to be on display at the Peoples Gas training center, while another will be donated to the Chicago History Museum, according to the Chicago Tribune.

With more than 60 years of pipeline experience, Daniel Mac Hoff-man’s resume reads like a roadmap into the Pipeliner’s Hall of Fame.

As just a boy, Dan began learning the trade from his father, Clar-ence “Mac” Hoffman, a 2012 Hall of Fame Outstanding Service Award winner. The late 1950s saw Dan’s career begin on the ground floor, as a laborer in various positions.

From 1963-1968 he handled bending and weld duties for River Construction. That led to worldwide sales and service work for CRC-Crose International. In 1972, he hired on with M.K. River, spending the next six years as operator, foreman and trucking co-ordinator. That time saw a rapid progression in Dan’s career, and rapid expansion of his family with his late wife N. Faye “Katy” Hoff-man. The pair welcomed son, Daniel Chad, and daughter, Robin Rochelle- with both traveling the country with their parents on vari-ous jobs. Daniel Chad would eventually find his passion in pipe-lining as well, currently working as Chief Inspector for Cleveland Integrity Services. Robin has spent her life as an educator and cur-rently works within the state of Oklahoma’s Board of Education.

Larger projects and teams of men became entrusted under Dan’s skilled guidance. Wilbros Oil and Gas would employ him from 1978-1983 and Michael Curran in 1984. Dan then partnered with Celeron Corp. on the All American Pipeline project in 1985, overseeing qual-ity control for the 785-mile, 30-inch products line as Chief Inspector. He handled similar duties for Celeron in Santa Barbara, California before serving as vice-president for Hoffman Consulting. Much of his time was spent overseeing quality control for Mojave Pipeline. The 1990’s also saw work for Cimarron, Sheehan, US Pipeline, Murphy Bros. and Henkels and McCoy.

He semi-retired after both children finished high school. After nu-merous rounds of golf he opened a successful family restaurant with his wife on Monkey Island near Grand Lake. But he had too much experience to stay away from the profession and inspec-tion companies Cleveland Inspection, QIS, Magellan and MBF all tapped him as a resource.

Through the last six decades, Dan has put his stamp on such pres-tigious lines as the Trans-Alaskan, Kern River, Mojave, All Ameri-can, Northern Border and Colonial pipelines. Later still, he was an obvious choice to become construction manager for Holly Oil, a job which brought him to the Salt Lake City, Utah area for four years. The location provided the perfect opportunity to bring his children and grandchildren out for skiing, sledding and sightseeing trips.

A wealth of knowledge, Dan still gets frequent calls to consult on various projects in between rounds of golf, fishing, travel and visiting his five grandchildren.

The Sullivans

J.C. Sullivan begin his pipeline career as an NDT Helper, in 1967. He would advance to a Level II Technician for H&H X-ray out of Monroe, LA. He would work around the U.S. with his brothers on several projects that would reshape pipelining. He would often be found out on the ROW running a rig truck, for the Head family. J.C. would work for H&H in various positions until his retirement in 2005. He ran H&H offices in El Reno, OK and Baltimore, MD until 2001, where he moved back to Louisiana to take over their radiation safety program.

J.C.’s passion was music and dancing. Everywhere J.C. went he was loved and adored by all he met. J.C. always found time to be home with his family on holidays and special occasions

John L. Sullivan also began his pipelining career with H&H X-ray. He would run rig trucks from Louisiana to Alaska for H&H. John L. also received his Level II certification for NDT, while working for H&H. In the mid 80’s he and his brother Jerry would transition into the growing field of Nuclear Energy quality control. Working on the Riverbend Project and South Texas project. In the 90’s he came back to pipeline as a welding inspector, moving up to Senior weld-ing inspector. Sought after by many companies for his integrity for his profession. He took smaller jobs in the latter of his career, with his lifelong friend and chief Harlon Broome.

John L. would drive in from any and everywhere to be with his fam-ily. He and his wife Georgia Lea were avid outdoors people, often fishing and hunting together. In 1997 he brought his son Shawn into the business, closing out his career with him on an Air Products project crossing Louisiana.

Jerry Sullivan would begin his career as his brothers at H&H X-ray in the 70’s and as a welder for pipeline companies. Working for them all over the U.S. Jerry would also receive his Level II. Jerry would move on to Head Quality Control over the Riverbend Project and South Texas project. Jerry came back to pipelining to move up to Senior Welding Inspector. Jerry would begin the transition to Assistant Chief and then Chief on many projects for Mustang and Cleveland Integrity. Jerry worked on many high-profile projects, one being the Serita Project in Arizona for Kinder Morgan in 2016. Jerry took his last project in North Dakota with John L. son Shawn to finish out his career.

Jerry’s passion was music and singing, often found recording dem-os of classic Ray Price songs. He also enjoyed woodworking later in his life and rebuilding classic cars. No matter where he was, he always found time for his family.

OBITUARIES teams plays a game. He started his football coaching career in Van Buren, Ark. where he coached football, basketball, and track. He became the head coach and athletic director at Tatum High School in 1972 where he coached for the next 10 years. During his time at Tatum, he led the Eagles to numerous district cham-pionships and playoff appearances. After leaving the coaching profession, W.E. worked in numerous positions in the oilfield until his retirement in 2016. W.E. had a unique ability to remember facts, dates, and statistics about people, places, and events. He never met a stranger and always had plenty of stories to tell that were never short on details. He possessed a strong work ethic and expected the same from his children, athletes, and cowork-ers but always was out front leading by example. W.E. or “WE” as his grandchildren called him loved his children and grandchil-dren. Nothing gave him greater enjoyment than watching them participate in their numerous athletic events and all the while providing coaching advice whenever needed. He was truly their biggest fan. He was preceded in death by his parents and grand-sons, Lucas John Hawthorne and Zackary Scott Hawthorne. He is survived by his loving wife Marianne of Tatum; sister, Milly Sale and husband Richard of Shreveport; children, Scott Hawthorne of Hallsville, Cassie White of White Oak, Jason Wheeler and wife Shelley of Tatum, and Brad Hawthorne and wife Jennifer of White Oak; grandchildren, Brittany Grimm and husband Merritt, Garrett White, Kade Wheeler, Emma Hawthorne, Dallas Reeves, Farrah Reeves, Makenzie Hawthorne, Sam Hawthorne, and Josh Haw-thorne; great grandchildren, Paisley White and Ella Rose Grimm; and numerous nieces and nephews. A special thanks to Dr. Rick Earnest and Dr. Larry Frase and the many healthcare profession-als that cared for W.E. for the past several months. Pallbearers were Pat Browning, Ron Reed, Dean Beall, Johnny Toon, Gary Ebberhart, Gene Centers, Horace James, and Willie Davis. Hon-orary pallbearers were Allen Koch, Coach Joe Evans, Dee Hart, Dean Centers, Bob Barrett, Mike Nelson, Mark Nelson, Andy Ev-ans and J. W. Parsons. Words of comfort may be shared with the family at www.crawfordacrim.com.

Jimmy Dale Horton, Sr, the baby of the fam-ily, was born on February 19, 1955 in Cisco, Texas to Talmadge “Wolfe” Horton and Mary Lucille (James) Horton. He passed from this life at the age of 64 on June 18, 2019 at McAles-ter Regional Health Center. Pallbearers were Christian Degraffenreid, Bailey Degraffenreid, Christian Spight, Austin Horton, Alex Horton, and Jarrett Spight. Jim, better known as “Hap-

py” to those that loved him, was a jack of all trades. He traveled this country with one profession or another, and never far away was his only son, Jimmy Dale “JD.” They worked as a team and always had each other’s back, no matter what. Happy was the ul-timate cowboy and lived life on his terms, no matter what, for bet-ter or worse. Some of his professions included transport escort, truck driver, pipeliner, inspector, and, immediately before he was forced to retire, oilfield salesman. Ultimately the sales position probably suited him best as he could sell ice to Eskimos, knew everyone, and even if he didn’t, by the time you left, you felt like you did. He didn’t care if you were the janitor or a UFC fighter, you were treated exactly the same. Happy was passionate about a few things in his life such as his family, horses, cows, and coon

hunting. He was a UKC coon hunting judge and proudly still car-ried his judge’s cards in his wallet right to the end. He was never without a string of horses, but you didn’t dare ride them. His favor-ite saying was, “that horse is broke as can be. Kids’ horse. Has all the bells and whistles.” You learned quickly to ride only the horses he rode or run the risk of putting on your own NFR winning round. He loved his cows, but more often than not, someone was going to get hurt when it was time to work. His son, grandsons, and most recently his beautiful great-granddaughter had him wrapped around their fingers. He always wanted to watch them get better, have “good” horses, and be good men. Cancer was beaten when he walked into Heaven’s ranch that day. He was surrounded by those that loved him; and as he walked through the gate, he threw a leg over Little Red, grinned that wicked smile, and head-ed to find the cows. He was preceded in death by his parents: Tal-madge “Wolfe” Horton and Mary Lucille Horton, an infant brother: Albert Lee, brothers: Johnny Wayne and Billy Gene, sister: Patri-cia Lucille, and twin daughters: Selena and Sabrina Horton. Left to cherish his memory and tell his tales are his son: Jimmy Dale Horton, Jr. and wife, Krischna of the home; girlfriend: Amanda Few of McAlester; grandsons: Christian Degraffenreid and wife, Halie; Bailey Degraffenreid and wife, Bailee, Christian Spight, Austin Horton, Alex Horton, and Jarrett Spight; great-grandson: Maverick; the first girl in 3 generations, great-granddaughter: Madelynn Hope (specific spoiling instructions were given); brothers: Ralph, Allen, Robert Dean, Robert Leroy; and sister: Mary Charlene.
