Buckeye Partners, L.P. announced the formation of a joint venture with Phillips 66 Partners LP and Andeavor to de-velop a new deep-water, open access marine terminal in Ingleside, Texas. The South Texas Gateway Terminal will be constructed on a 212 acre waterfront parcel at the mouth of Corpus Christi Bay. The facility is positioned to serve as the primary outlet for crude oil and condensate volumes delivered off of the planned Gray Oak pipeline from the Permian Basin. The terminal, to be constructed and op-erated by Buckeye, will offer 3.4 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity, connectivity to the Gray Oak pipeline and two deep-water vessel docks capable of berthing Very Large Crude Carrier petroleum tankers as part of the initial scope of construction. The facility can ultimately be ex-panded to include over 10 million barrels of storage capac-ity as well as multiple additional docks and other inbound pipeline connections. The initial construction of the termi-nal is supported by long-term minimum volume throughput commitments from credit-worthy customers, including Phil-lips 66 and Andeavor, and is scheduled to commence initial operations by the end of 2019. Buckeye will own a 50% interest in the newly formed joint venture and Phillips 66 Partners and Andeavor will each own a 25% interest.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has prepared a favorable Draft 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-diameter pipeline in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The terminal would include the following facilities: liquefaction facilities; two full-containment LNG aboveground 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 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 staff concludes that construction and op-eration of the project would result in some adverse envi-ronmental impacts, but these impacts would be reduced to less-than-significant levels.

Empire Pipeline, Inc., a subsidiary of National Fuel Gas Company, has received notice from the FERC that Issu-ance of the Environmental Assessment for the Empire North Project is expected November 20, 2018 with a final project decision slated for February 8, 2019. The company is seeking authorization to construct two new compression stations, one in the Town of Farmington, N.Y., and the other in Jackson Township, PA, along with minor facility modifica-tions to its existing Jackson Meter & Regulator Station and its existing New Victor Regulator Station, located in Jackson Township, PA, and Victor, N.Y. The Empire North Project consists of: installation of new electric motor-driven natural gas compressor facility off Hook Road on two tax parcels that total approximately 92.4 acres in the Town of Farming-ton, Ontario County, N.Y.; installation of new turbine-driven natural gas compression facility on two parcels that total approximately 42.2 acres off Buckwheat Hollow Road and Stateline Road in Jackson Township, Tioga County, PA; mi-nor modifications to existing New Victor Regulator Station, located off Valentown Road in Victor, N.Y.; minor modifica-tions to the existing Jackson Meter and Regulator Station, located in Jackson Township, Tioga County, PA; and uprate of Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) of the existing Empire Connector Pipeline (ECP) that runs from

Victor, N.Y. to Corning, N.Y. from 1290 psig to 1440 psig, in accordance with federal pipeline safety regulations. The proposed uprate is not expected to require any construc-tion-related activities. The project has a targeted in-service date of November 2019.

Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., MPLX LP and Delek US Holdings, Inc. an-nounced they have received sufficient commitments to pro-ceed with plans to construct a new 30-inch diameter common carrier pipeline to transport crude oil from the Permian Basin to the Texas Gulf Coast region, with the ability to increase the pipe diameter to expand the capacity based upon additional commitments received during the upcoming open season. An open season for additional shipper volume commitments on the new pipeline system will be launched this week. The 600-mile pipeline system is expected to be operational in mid-2020 with multiple Texas origins, including Wink, Crane and Midland. The pipeline system will have the strategic ca-pability to transport crude oil to both Energy Transfer’s Ned-erland, Texas terminal and Magellan’s East Houston, Texas terminal for ultimate delivery through their respective distribu-tion systems. The project is subject to receipt of customary regulatory and Board approvals of the respective entities.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. announced that con-struction is under way to increase loading capacity for liquefied petroleum gas, primarily propane and butane, at the Enterprise Hydrocarbon Terminal by 175,000 bar-rels per day, or approximately 5 million barrels per month. The expansion will bring total LPG export capacity at EHT to 720,000 BPD, or approximately 21 million barrels per month. Upon completion of this expansion project, EHT will have the capability to load as many as six Very Large Gas Carrier vessels simultaneously, while maintaining the op-tion to switch between propane and butane loadings. Once operational, the expansion will allow EHT to load a single VLGC in less than 24 hours, creating greater efficiencies and cost savings for customers. The incremental capacity is expected to be available in the second half of 2019.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. announced it has be-gun construction of a new natural gas liquids fractionator adjacent to its Mont Belvieu, Texas complex. The new unit will have a nameplate capacity of 150,000 barrels per day, giving Enterprise 905,000 BPD of fractionation capability in the Mont Belvieu area, and approximately 1.4 million BPD companywide. The fractionator is scheduled to begin ser-vice in the first quarter of 2020. “The addition of our newest

fractionator will facilitate continued NGL production growth, including from the Permian Basin where NGL volumes are expected to more than double over the next four years,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, chief executive officer of Enter-prise’s general partner. “This new fractionator will supply NGL products for the expanding petrochemical industry on the U.S. Gulf Coast as well as growing global demand for NGLs.” Teague added that the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford account for approximately 70 percent of the do-mestic growth in NGLs. The new fractionator is supported by long-term customer agreements.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P., Midcoast Operating L.P. (a subsidiary of Enbridge, Inc., Western Gas Part-ners, LP and DCP Midstream, LP recently held a binding open season for additional capacity on the Texas Express Pipeline, which transports mixed natural gas liquids from Skellytown, Texas in Carson County to the NGL fraction-ation and storage complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The partners expect to expand Texas Express by approximately 90,000 barrels per day. Enterprise will be responsible for constructing the expansion, which will consist of adding pumping capacity along the 583-mile route. Service on the expanded Texas Express pipeline is expected to begin in

the second quarter of 2019. The expansion of Texas Ex-press is designed to facilitate growing production of NGLs from domestic shale basins, including the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Colorado. Complementing the Texas Express ex-pansion is a proposed increase in capacity on the 435-mile Front Range pipeline that originates in Weld County Colora-do and connects to the Texas Express pipeline. Combined, these two assets offer an integrated solution that provides much-needed takeaway capacity for NGL production in the DJ Basin and access to the Gulf Coast market.

The staff of the FERC has issued final approval for the Westlake Expansion Project involving construction and operation of facilities by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Gulf South is planning to construct and operate the following facilities as part of the Westlake Expansion Project in Calcasieu Parish, Loui-siana: one new 10,000 horsepower compressor station (Westlake Compressor Station) and appurtenant facilities; approximately 1,600 feet of 16-inch-diamater natural gas pipeline lateral; and two new metering and regulating sta-tions (Entergy Lake Charles and Varibus M&R Stations). The project will provide about 200 million cubic feet of

natural gas per day to the proposed 980 megawatt natu-ral gas-fired combined cycle electric generating plant near Westlake, Louisiana. Gulf South plans to begin construc-tion of the Westlake Expansion Project by September 2018 and place the facilities in-service by August 2019.

Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP is proposing to con-struct the Willis Lateral Project to provide natural gas trans-portation service to its growing customer base in Southeast Texas, including Entergy Texas, Inc.’s Montgomery County Power Station. The investment will help improve infrastruc-ture across a rapidly growing region. Gulf South proposes to construct approximately 19 miles of 24-inch pipeline in Montgomery and San Jacinto Counties, Texas, and addi-tional compression within its existing Goodrich Compres-sor Station in Polk County, Texas. The proposed project will provide new capability of approximately 200 million cubic feet per day. Gulf South plans to begin construction of the Willis Lateral Project by October 2019 and place the facili-ties in-service by May 2020.

Medallion Pipeline announced the successful closing of its binding open season for a major expansion to its ex-isting crude oil pipeline system in the Midland Basin. As previously announced, Medallion will expand six segments of its pipeline system to transport increased quantities of crude oil, produced from acreage near Medallion’s system, to downstream pipelines and markets. Medallion plans to construct a 16-inch operational loop of its existing Midkiff Lateral and plans to expand the capacity of the Crane Ex-tension, Reagan Gathering Extension, Santa Rita Lateral, Martin Lateral and Midland Lateral. Initially placed in service

in October 2014, Medallion’s crude oil pipeline has under-taken a series of expansions to meet the increasing needs of producers and marketers in the Midland Basin. The ex-isting system is a network of roughly 700 miles of 6-inch and larger crude oil pipeline facilities that aggregate and transport crude oil production to the Colorado City (Texas) Hub, the Crane Hub and the Midland Hub, providing access to multiple long-haul, large-volume pipelines for transporta-tion to downstream markets. Based on the capacity bids received during the open season, Medallion has received long-term binding commitments sufficient to move forward with construction. The expansion is expected to commence commercial operations in phases, with full commercial op-erations occurring during the fourth quarter of 2019.

products pipeline system in Texas and has launched an open season to assess customer interest. The proposed expansion would increase Magellan’s capability to trans-port refined petroleum products, such as gasoline and die-sel fuel, from Gulf Coast refineries to demand centers in Abilene, Midland/Odessa and El Paso, Texas, with further optionality to access markets in the states of New Mexico and Arizona, as well as international markets in Mexico via connections to other pipelines owned by Magellan and third parties. The pipeline’s current capacity of 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) could increase to 140,000 bpd following the expansion. Subject to the results of this open season and receipt of all necessary permits and approvals, the expand-ed capacity could be operational by mid-2020.

Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. recently held an ex-tension of the open season to solicit commitments from shippers for a new pipeline to transport various grades of crude oil and condensate from the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins to multiple destinations in the Corpus Christi and Houston, Texas markets, including Magellan’s existing crude oil terminals in these markets. The proposed project would include construction of an approximately 375-mile, 24-inch diameter pipeline from Crane to a location near

Three Rivers, Texas, providing shippers the option to ul-timately deliver crude oil and condensate from the Three Rivers area to the Houston area via a new 200-mile pipe-line or to the Corpus Christi area via a new 70-mile pipeline. The potential pipeline system is expected to have an initial capacity of at least 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) with the ability to expand up to 600,000 bpd for each destination, if warranted by industry demand. Additional pipeline exten-sions are being considered for Midland and Orla, Texas in the Permian Basin and Gardendale and Helena, Texas in the Eagle Ford Basin. Subject to receipt of all necessary permits and approvals, the proposed pipeline could be op-erational by the end of 2019.

Midcoast Energy, LLC is proposing a new pipeline, the CJ Express Pipeline, which will be incorporated with exist-ing Midcoast facilities, to provide natural gas transportation services from the Carthage area to Houston Ship Channel and Gulf Coast markets. The CJ Express Pipeline will con-sist of up to 150 miles of 36 inch or larger diameter pipe-line, commencing near Carthage in Panola County, Texas and extending south to Midcoast’s Clarity Pipeline in Har-din County, Texas to provide for deliveries to Trunkline Gas (NTX), Gulf South (Area 10), TRANSCO (Zone 2), TETCO

ONEOK, Inc. announced plans to invest approximately $295 million to expand its West Texas LPG Limited Part-nership (West Texas LPG) pipeline system, which pro-vides natural gas liquids (NGL) takeaway capacity for Permian Basin producers. The expansion project, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2020, is supported by long-term dedicated NGL production from six third-party natural gas processing plants in the Perm-ian Basin that are expected to produce up to 60,000 bar-rels per day (bpd) of NGLs. The expansion includes the construction of four new pump stations, two pump sta-tion upgrades and pipeline looping that will increase the West Texas LPG mainline capacity by 80,000 bpd and additional infrastructure to connect West Texas LPG with ONEOK's previously announced Arbuckle II Pipeline proj-ect. Based on the initial contracted volume, the expan-sion project is expected to generate an adjusted earn-ings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) multiple of four to six times. ONEOK continues discussions with producers and processors in the region for additional potential volume commitments. ONEOK's previously announced 110,000 bpd pipeline lateral extension of the West Texas LPG system into the Delaware Basin and expansion of the existing mainline

system is currently under construction and expected to be in service this month. The West Texas LPG Pipeline is an NGL pipeline system that provides takeaway capacity to Permian Basin producers and consists of approximately 2,600 miles of NGL pipeline in Texas and New Mexico. The system provides transportation services to the Mont Belvieu market center from nearly 40 third-party natural gas processing plants located in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin in southeastern New Mexico and western Texas is the largest crude oil and natural gas producing basin in the U.S.

ONEOK, Inc. plans to invest approximately $1.4 billion to construct a new pipeline, and related infrastructure, to transport natural gas liquids (NGLs) from the Rocky Mountain region to the company's existing Mid-Continent NGL facilities. The Elk Creek Pipeline – an approximate-ly 900-mile, 20-inch diameter pipeline that is expected to be completed by the end of 2019 – will have the capacity to transport up to 240,000 barrels per day (bpd) of un-fractionated NGLs from near the company's Riverview terminal in eastern Montana to Bushton, Kansas. The Elk Creek Pipeline is expected to cost approximately $1.2 billion, with related infrastructure costs expected to total

progresses, initially include, for the Rochester project: (1) construction of 12 miles of 16-inch pipeline; (2) an increase in the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of 8 miles of the La Crosse branch line; and (3) a new Roch-ester town border station (TBS). The Northern Lights 2019 segment of the project will consist of construction of: (1) 10.2 miles of 24-inch pipeline; (2) 16.6 miles of branch line and mainline loops/extensions ranging in size from 6-inch- to 36-inch pipeline; (3) new compression at Northern’s ex-isting Faribault and Owatonna compressor stations; and (4) a new Carver Minnesota compressor station. Construc-tion start is anticipated for Spring 2019 with a tentative in-service date of November 2019.

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation has received a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment from the FERC on the Line YM28 & Line FM120 Modern-ization Project in Cameron, Elk, and McKean Counties, Pennsylvania. The natural gas project would consist of the following: approximately 14.4 miles of new 12-inch diam-eter pipeline installed within existing rights-of-way in McK-ean County (designated Line KL); approximately 5.8 miles of new 6-inch-diameter pipeline installed via insertion into the existing 12-inch-diameter FM120 pipeline in McKean

and Elk Counties; abandonment in place of approximately 7.7 miles of the existing Line YM28 in McKean County; approximately 12.5 miles of Line FM120 removed from service in McKean, Elk, and Cameron Counties; removal and relocation of a meter set to the proposed Line KL; and new ancillary facilities including an interconnect in McKean County and miscellaneous valve and piping modifications.

ONEOK, Inc. announced plans to construct additional natural gas liquids (NGL) and natural gas infrastructure, including: a new 125,000-barrel per day (bpd) NGL fractionator – MB-5 – in Mont Belvieu, Texas, and related infrastructure; a new 200-million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility – the Demicks Lake II plant and related infrastructure – in the Williston Basin; an extension of ONEOK's Arbuckle II NGL pipeline further north and additional NGL gathering in-frastructure to increase capacity between the Mid-Continent market hub and Arbuckle II; an expansion of the Arbuckle II NGL pipeline by approximately 100,000 bpd to increase total capacity up to 500,000 bpd by adding pump stations. These projects are expected to generate adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBIT-DA) multiples of four to six times. ONEOK still does not expect any equity issuances in 2018 or well into 2019.

approximately $200 million. The pipeline will have the ca-pability to be expanded to 400,000 bpd with additional pump facilities.

ONEOK, Inc. plans to invest approximately $2.3 billion between now and 2020 to construct: a new 400,000-bar-rel per day (bpd) natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline – the Arbuckle II Pipeline – that will create additional NGL transportation capacity between ONEOK's extensive Mid-Continent 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 related 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 Basin. Arbuckle II Pipeline and MB-4: The ap-proximately 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 unfractionated NGLs originating across ONEOK's supply basins and extensive NGL gathering system to the company's storage and fractionation facilities at Mont Bel-vieu. The Arbuckle II Pipeline is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2020. The pipeline will have the capabil-

ity 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 additional 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 capacity will increase to 965,000 bpd fol-lowing 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 ranging between 10 to 20 years. Adjusted EBITDA multiples for these projects are based only from these commitments but additional supply agree-ments 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 approximately $400 million and be completed during the fourth quarter 2019. The Demicks Lake plant will be built in McKenzie County, North Da-kota, which is in the core area of the Williston Basin. The plant is supported by acreage dedications with primar-ily fee-based contracts. The Demicks Lake plant is ex-pected 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 capacity will increase to more than 1.2 billion cubic feet per day following the com-pletion of the Demicks Lake plant.

Permico Energia is planning to build a 510 mile (821km) pipeline from the Permian basin in West Texas to a new fractionator it will build near Cor-pus Christi, TX. The pipeline, called Companero, will have an initial capacity of 300,000 bbl/day of natural gas liquids (NGLs), said Permico, a US-based midstream company. The fractionator, called El Centro, will have a capacity of 300,000 bbl/day, Permico said. Another pipeline will lead from the new fractionator and terminate at the US NGL hub in Mont Belvieu, Texas, Permico said. It will have a length of 230 miles, have a capacity of 250,000 bbl/day and have ethane and propane service. The fractionator will have yet another pipeline, called Markham, that will have a length of 116 miles, have a capacity of 175,000 bbl/day and have ethane, propane and y-grade service, Permico said. This pipeline will terminate at the Markham storage facility. Construction will start in the early 2019, and operations should start in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Phillips 66 Partners announced that it has re-ceived sufficient binding commitments on an ini-

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES tial open season to proceed with construction of the Gray Oak Pipeline system. The Gray Oak Pipeline will provide crude oil transportation from West Texas to destinations in the Corpus Christi and Sweeny/Freeport markets. Bids are in and being evaluated. Origination stations will be constructed in Reeves, Loving, Winkler, and Crane coun-ties in West Texas, as well as from locations in the Eagle Ford production area in South Texas. The pipeline is ex-pected to be placed in service by the end of 2019, and is backed by long-term, third-party, take-or-pay commit-ments with primarily investment-grade customers. Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC, a joint venture owned 75 percent by Phillips 66 Partners and 25 percent by Andeavor, will own the pipeline system. Other third parties, including En-bridge Inc., have an option to acquire up to 32.75 percent interest in the joint venture. If all options are exercised, Phillips 66 Partners’ ownership would be 42.25 percent and Andeavor’s ownership would remain 25 percent. Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC received enough volume commitments in the form of precedent agreements to hold a second binding open season. This open season provides an op-portunity for additional shippers to enter into transporta-tion services agreements that provide long-term crude oil transportation on the Gray Oak Pipeline. The ultimate scope and capacity of the pipeline will depend on the out-come of the second open season. Subject to the results of the open season, the Gray Oak Pipeline could transport up to 700,000 barrels per day or more of crude oil from the Permian Basin to downstream markets. Its capacity could ultimately be expanded to approximately 1 million barrels per day of long-haul takeaway. In Corpus Christi, the Gray Oak Pipeline will connect to a new joint venture marine terminal under development by Buckeye Partners, L.P. Buckeye will have a 50 percent interest in the termi-nal joint venture and will be the operator, while Phillips 66 Partners and Andeavor each will have a 25 percent own-ership interest. The terminal will have an initial storage capacity of 3.4 million barrels and is expected to begin operations by the end of 2019.

A subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. plans to start construction in early 2019 on the Cactus II Pipe-line, a new pipeline system with an initial capacity of 585,000 barrels per day extending from the Permian Ba-sin to the Corpus Christi/Ingleside area. Cactus II pipeline capacity is fully committed with long-term third-party ship-per contracts totaling 525,000 barrels per day, composed of 425,000 barrels per day of long-term minimum volume commitments and an additional 100,000 barrels per day of commitments associated with long-term acreage dedi-cations. Approximately 60,000 barrels per day is reserved for walk-up shippers. PAA is expected to retain 65% own-ership and will serve as operator. The Cactus II pipeline system will have origination points at Orla, Wink, Midland, Crane and McCamey, Texas and will be capable of trans-

porting multiple quality segregations. The system includes a combination of capacity on existing pipelines and two new 26-inch pipelines and is expandable to approximately 670,000 barrels per day through the addition of incremen-tal pumping capacity. The first new pipeline will extend from Wink to McCamey, TX, and the second new pipeline (which is expected to be owned within the Joint Venture)

will extend from McCamey to the Corpus Christi/Ingleside area, and have flexibility to access multiple docks. Permit-ting, right-of-way and procurement activities are under-way, and the pipeline system is targeted to be operational in the third quarter of 2019.

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. will construct the Sun-rise Expansion Project. The Partnership plans to extend its Sunrise Pipeline system, which currently originates at Midland and connects with Colorado City, by building ap-proximately 180-miles of 24-inch pipeline from Colorado City, TX to Wichita Falls, TX. The balance of the capacity will be provided by a combination of spare capacity and capacity enhancements to existing pipelines, which in-clude capacity expansions to our Delaware Basin system of up to 200,000 barrels per day. The pipeline system will deliver to Plains' and third-party terminals in Cushing, OK. Subject to timely receipt of necessary permits and regula-tory approvals, the additional capacity is expected to be operational in early to mid-2019.

Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC, a subsidiary of Sempra LNG & Midstream, has received a Draft Environmental Impact Statement from the FERC for its proposed natural gas pipeline in connection with the proposed development of the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project by Port Arthur LNG, LLC, and PALNG Common Facilities in Jefferson County, Texas. The Texas Connector Project will be comprised of two segments totaling 34.2 miles of new 42-inch di-ameter pipeline and approximately 4.65 miles of variable diameter lateral pipelines. The 26.6 mile northern pipe-line segment will transport gas from interconnections with Houston Pipeline Company, Texas Eastern Transmission, and Florida Gas Transmission Company. This northern segment will also interconnect with underground natu-ral gas storage facilities at the Golden Triangle Storage and Centana Intrastate Pipeline, LLC facilities in Jeffer-son County, Texas. The 7.6 mile southern pipeline seg-ment extending south from the Liquefaction Project will interconnect with the existing pipeline systems of Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America and Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline Company in Cameron Parish, Louisi-ana. The Texas Connector Project will be capable of de-livering approximately 2,000,000 million British thermal units (“MMBtu”) per day of natural gas to the Liquefaction Project. The northern pipeline segment will be located in Orange and Jefferson Counties, Texas, and the southern segment in Jefferson County, Texas and Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The pipeline will also pass through the juris-dictional boundaries of the cities of Beaumont and Port Arthur, Texas. Approximately one mile of the south seg-ment will be installed under Sabine Pass shipping chan-nel via horizontal directional drilling. Port Arthur Pipeline proposes to construct two compressor stations, one for the south pipeline segment and one for the north pipe-

line segment. The major compressor station equipment will be comprised of compressors with either natural gas or electric drivers, suction scrubbers upstream of the compressors, electric motor-driven natural gas coolers downstream of the compressors, unit and station blow-downs with silencers, above and below ground piping and valves, and system utilities. The meter stations will con-sist of unmanned facilities containing a meter and regula-tor building, pig launcher/receiver assemblies, meter and control valve skid, separator, condensate tank, associ-ated above and below ground piping, and valve fixtures to tie-in to the two proposed pipeline segments. Construc-tion is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2021, with commercial operations expected to begin in third quar-ter of 2022. On October 16, 2017, Port Arthur Pipeline filed another application requesting a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the Louisiana Connec-tor Project, authorizing Port Arthur Pipeline to construct, own, and operate additional new proposed Liquefaction Facility south of Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas. The Louisiana Connector Project will be capable of deliv-ering approximately 2,000,000 MMBtu per day of natural gas to the Liquefaction Project. The Louisiana Connector Project, along with the Texas Connector Project facilities proposed in this proceeding, will be the primary means of delivery of feed gas to the Liquefaction Project. The anticipated construction start date is 1st quarter of 2021 with in-service slated for 3rd quarter 2022.The Louisiana Connector Project will include 131 miles of 42-inch diam-eter gas pipeline, a new compressor station, intercon-nection facilities with interstate and intrastate natural gas facilities, and other appurtenant facilities. The proposed Louisiana Connector Project facilities will extend from an interconnect with Columbia Gas Transmission (MP 130.9) located northeast of Eunice, Louisiana in St. Landry Par-ish through Evangeline, Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, and Cameron Parishes in Louisiana and Jefferson County, Texas and terminate at the proposed Liquefaction Facility south of Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas. The Loui-siana Connector Project, along with the Texas Connector Project facilities proposed in this proceeding, will be the primary means of delivery of feed gas to the Liquefaction Project. Both projects are needed to provide service to the Liquefaction Project and will allow flexible access to mul-tiple supply basins and systems of upstream transporters. Combined, the projects will give more gas sellers access to Port Arthur LNG and Port Arthur LNG access to more supply basins.

The proposed Port Arthur Pipeline Project would con-sist of two segments oriented north and south of the pro-posed liquefaction project. The 27.6-mile northern portion of the proposed pipeline project would extend from Vidor in Orange County, TX to the proposed liquefaction project, with the majority of the proposed pipeline co-located with



existing energy infrastructure rights-of-way. The approxi-mately 7-mile southern portion of the proposed pipeline project would originate in Cameron Parish, Louisiana on the east bank of Sabine Lake and terminate at the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project. The proposed pipeline project would interconnect the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project to various intra- and interstate pipelines, providing access to a number of major U.S. natural gas supply basins. Con-struction is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2021, with commercial operations expected to begin in third quarter of 2022.

San Mateo Black River Oil Pipeline, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Mateo Midstream, LLC, recently held a binding open season to gauge shipper interest in committed crude oil interstate transportation service on the Rustler Breaks Pipeline Project, a proposed approx-imately 17-mile, 10-inch diameter crude petroleum gath-ering and transportation system to be constructed and op-erated by San Mateo from certain points of origin in Eddy County, New Mexico to an interconnect with Plains Pipe-line, L.P. in Eddy County, New Mexico. The final volume of capacity for both committed and uncommitted service on the project will be determined by San Mateo in part based on the results of this open season.

Tallgrass Energy, LP announced an open season solicit-ing binding shipper commitments for crude oil transpor-tation service on the Seahorse Pipeline. The proposed Seahorse Pipeline 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. The pipeline will operate as a multi-grade common batch sys-tem that, along with Tallgrass’ Pony Express Pipeline, will ensure domestic refiners and international markets have access to “neat” barrels from five different production ba-sins. Seahorse is expected to start commercial operations in the third quarter of 2021. In addition, to accommodate shipper interest and continued growth in the Powder Riv-er, Denver-Julesburg and Bakken producing regions, Tall-grass 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 expand the Pony Express Pipeline further through potential additional horsepower and/or looping to facilitate large-scale movements from Guernsey and northeast Colorado. The Seahorse open season runs through Oct. 1.

Targa Resources Corp. NextEra Energy Pipeline Hold-ings, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC; WhiteWater Mid-stream, LLC, a portfolio company of Denham Capital

Management and Ridgemont Energy Partners; and MPLX LP), announced the execution of a letter of intent (and associated term sheets) for the joint development of the proposed Whistler Pipeline Project, which will provide an outlet for increased natural gas production from the Permian Basin to growing markets along the Texas Gulf Coast. The Whistler Project is designed to transport ap-proximately 2.0 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcf/d”) of natu-ral gas through approximately 450 miles of 42-inch pipe-line from Waha, Texas to NextEra’s Agua Dulce market hub, with an additional approximately 170 miles of 30-inch pipe continuing from Agua Dulce and terminating in Wharton County. Supply for the Whistler Project will be sourced from multiple upstream connections in both the Midland and Delaware Basins, including direct connec-tions to Targa plants through an approximately 27 mile 30-inch pipeline lateral, as well as a direct connection to the 1.4 Bcf/d Agua Blanca Pipeline, a joint venture between WhiteWater, WPX Energy, MPLX and Targa, which cross-es through the heart of the Delaware Basin, including portions of Culberson, Loving, Pecos, Reeves, Winkler, and Ward counties. The Whistler Project would have ac-cess to the Nueces Header and premium markets at Agua Dulce, as well as along a northern extension through Cor-pus Christi to the Houston Ship Channel to serve markets along the Texas Gulf Coast. Targa, NextEra, MPLX and WhiteWater (and their respective producer customers) would collectively commit volumes in excess of 1.5 Bcf/day to the Whistler Project.The Project would begin op-eration in the fourth quarter of 2020, subject to execution of definitive agreements and the receipt of necessary reg-ulatory approvals. The named parties have committed to be exclusive to the Project for a period of time sufficient to complete definitive agreements. The Whistler Project will be constructed by NextEra Energy Pipeline Holdings and operated by Targa. The Project is expected to be financed at the project level. In addition to the commitments of the Project sponsors and their producer customers, the Whis-tler Project is in negotiations for additional firm transporta-tion commitments and is expected to launch an open sea-son in the coming months with respect to any remaining firm intrastate transportation capacity.

Paterson M&R, Passaic County, New Jersey - remove existing 12-inch headers, meter skid, building, and associated equip-ment; install a meter skid with two 6-inch ultrasonic me-ters with 12-inch inlet and outlet headers; install a new M&R building; install new remote terminal unit (RTU)/ gas chromatograph building; install new flow computer, radio, and an antenna/pole; and install a new condensate tank. The project has a targeted in-service date of Nov. 1, 2020.

V-Tex Logistics, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation, has signed an agreement with Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. to jointly build an approximately 135-mile, 16-inch products pipeline from Houston to Hearne, Texas. In addition, Vale-ro will separately build a terminal in Hearne, a terminal in Williamson County, Texas, and an approximately 70-mile, 12-inch pipeline connecting the two terminals. Valero’s expected cost for the projects is $380 million with targeted completion in mid-2019. Construction of these pipelines and terminals will provide a reliable fuel supply alterna-tive for the fast-growing Central Texas marketplace. The new pipelines and terminals are expected to supply up to 60,000 barrels per day into Williamson County.

Venture Global Plaquemines LNG, LLC (Plaquemines LNG) and Venture Global Gator Express, LLC (Gator Express Pipeline) have received a Draft Environmental

Impact Statement from the FERC to construct a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal and pipeline facilities located in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Together 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 Par-ish, Louisiana (Terminal) and to construct and operate two new 42-inch diameter natural gas pipeline laterals that will connect the Terminal to the pipeline facilities of Tennes-see Gas Pipeline Company and Texas Eastern Trans-mission. 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 Partners L.P. has an application before the FERC seeking authorization for its Southeastern Trail Expansion project, which would create 296,375 dekath-erms per day of additional firm transportation capacity to markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern U.S. for the 2020/2021 winter heating season. Transco, the nation’s largest-volume and fastest-growing interstate natural gas pipeline system, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Williams Partners L.P., of which Williams owns approximately 74 percent, including the general-partner interest. Williams Partners 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 Southeastern Trail Expansion project will consist of approximately 7.7 miles of 42-inch pipeline looping facilities in Virginia, horsepow-er additions at existing compressor stations in Virginia, and piping and valve modifications on other existing facili-ties in South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana to allow for bi-directional flow. The certificate application reflects an expected capital cost of $404.8 million and a target in-service commitment of Nov. 1, 2020.


We are pleased to get back to work on this very important public infrastructure project. With FERC’s approval today, we are mobilizing our crews immediately to resume con-struction as authorized. We are closely monitoring weather conditions across the project footprint and will of course only resume work in areas where it is safe to do so and where weather conditions permit. We commend the Fish & Wildlife Service and National Park Service for promptly addressing the issues raised by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and FERC’s Stop Work Or-der. The agencies have reaffirmed that the project does not threaten any federally protected species and is consistent with the public use of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Public utilities in Virginia and North Carolina are depend-ing on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to meet the growing en-ergy needs of consumers and businesses. The project remains on track for completion by the end of next year, which will allow public utilities to meet growing demand for cleaner electricity, residential home heating and power for local businesses.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline has been the most thoroughly reviewed infrastructure project in the history of our region. The additional scrutiny we’ve recently received from the courts and the agencies are further evidence of the high standard that is being applied to the project.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline to Resume ConstructionThe following is a statement by Atlantic Coast Pipeline spokesperson Aaron Ruby regarding the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) authorization on September 17, 2018 to resume project construction:

BanditCelebrates 35th Anniversary with Dealers, Customers and Community

To Begin Keystone XL Pipeline Construction in 2019

More than 350 dealers, cus-tomers and special guests descended on Bandit Indus-tries’ world headquarters in

Mid-Michigan on Sept. 12 to celebrate 35 years of con-tinued success, and to check out what’s in store for the coming years.

That celebration included tours of Bandit’s facilities, a behind-the-scenes look at the process of building the most powerful wood processing equipment in the industry, and capped off with a demonstration of more than two dozens machines – including brand new, never before seen machines.

“We couldn’t properly celebrate 35 years without our deal-ers who are committed to providing the best support and our amazing customers who have stood with us over the years,” said Bandit Sales Manager Jason Morey. “But Bandit Industries is a success because of the hardworking men and women who show up every day to build these machines.”

After the special Bandit guests had gone home, Bandit opened its doors to the mid-Michigan community for an open house on Sept. 15. Nearly 800 guests dropped by for machine demonstrations, plant tours, food and fun.

Bandit Industries has had an amazing 35 years, with new and exciting opportunities for the future. With the recent announcement of the company going employee-owned, excitement is at an all-time high for Bandit employees and the community.

The developer of the Keystone XL oil pipeline plans to start construction next year, after a U.S. State Department review ordered by a federal judge concluded that major environmental damage from a leak is unlikely and could quickly be mitigated, a company spokesman said Monday.

According to reports, the company remains committed to moving ahead with the project following years of reviews from federal and state regulators. The company has al-ready started preparing pipe yards, transporting pipe and mowing parts of the project’s right-of-way in Montana and South Dakota, but TransCanada said in court documents it doesn’t plan start construction in Nebraska in the first half of 2019.

The report issued from the Trump administration’s State Department drew criticism from environmental groups, who say they’ll continue to fight the project they view as an environmental threat.

A U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT REVIEW ORDERED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE CONCLUDED THAT MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE FROM A LEAK IS UNLIKELY AND COULD QUICKLY BE MITIGATED

TransCanada Clock Spring Leak Stopper™ Works Under PressureNew Product Expands Critical Infrastructure Solutions for Emergency RepairsClock Spring Company, Inc., the world’s leading manu-facturer of highly innovative and engineered products for the repair and rehabilitation of pipe-based critical infrastructure, is expanding its product line with the in-troduction of Leak Stopper™, an emergency solution for onstream leak repair.

“Innovation is a strategic pillar at Clock Spring, and we pride ourselves on providing the industries we serve with elegantly designed and exceptionally effective products,” says Clock Spring CEO and President Matthew Bouch-er. “Our new Leak Stopper™ delivers a safe and simple repair that is easy to install and cost-effective to deploy across a broad range of applications.”

With a clamping strength of 5,929 lbf, the Clock Spring Leak Stopper is ideal for oil and gas pipelines, refineries and petrochemical plants, and municipal water and gas distribution lines, replacing costly and cumbersome bolt-on products and clamps that require more time to install and introduce greater risk.

In a matter of seconds, a trained technician using a gauged clamping device can tension the specialized strap securely over a leak with a low-profile buckle. The result

is a reliable, durable temporary repair that can be over-wrapped with one of Clock Spring’s industry-leading com-posite solutions.

According to Buddy Powers, Vice president of Product Management, exceptional engineering has once again produced a superior product.

“Extensive testing has verified the Leak Stopper band’s exceptional break strength, establishing this product as a valuable and much needed tool for mitigating environ-mental impact and restoring safe operations,” he says.

From the Flatwood Community Fire Department:Every year your Station 9 Firefighters go to Flatwoods Ele-mentary School in October for fire prevention week to teach the kids about what we do, including how to get out there home safely if there was ever a fire, stop drop and roll, just all aspects of our job and every year NFPA give a theme for fire prevention week which this years theme is “Look, Listen, Learn”.

Look for places fire can startListen for the sound of the smoke alarmLearn two ways out of each room

Every year we give gifts out to every kid, the two oldest grades get something a little extra. One grade will get fire extinguishers and one grade will get smoke alarms.

We do this so we know every kid and there family that comes out of Flatwoods Elementary will have at least one smoke alarm and one fire extinguisher in their home. We purchase this out of our department account, and with us being a small department with not a lot of fundraising op-portunities sets us back.

This year was a little different, as we came in contact with the pipeliners and their wives and respective unions that are working in our area!

Today your Station 9 Firefighters took a donation from the pipeliners and their wives. They purchased 38 fire extin-guishers and 38 smoke detectors that we will be giving out to the 4th and 5th graders at Flatwoods Elementary.

We are so grateful for this donation from our pipeliners and their wives. It takes a financial burden off of our shoulders and frees up finances that we can use toward other equip-ment, PPE, fuel, or anything else that is needed for us to help the community of Flatwoods and surrounding areas.

Thank you again to the pipeliners and wives of their respec-tive unions for this donation!

The latest Pipeline College Class was held on September 18th at the Preston Eastin company fabrication shop. This class was with the American Welding Society meeting and they invited the pipeline group to join. Mr. Rob Nock and John DeRosier gave the presentation. The company manu-factures pinwheels and positioners for welding fixtures. In addition, they make computer guided positioners for au-tomatic welding, similar to CNC machines. It was obvious that most of their equipment requires quality engineering. They would like to thank Mr. Nock for having them and Mr. Cole Vansell with the AWS for including the pipeliners. There were 15 professional engineers who attended and each will receive one PDH for the class.
