据油气杂志网2019年10月14日休斯顿报道，美国恩特普莱斯产品合作伙伴公司（EPP）将根据在最近一个招标开放季节收到的承诺继续推进其阿巴拉契亚到德克萨斯州(ATEX)的乙烷管道的扩建工作。

这条长1200英里的ATEX乙烷管道将把乙烷从位于宾夕法尼亚州、西弗吉尼亚州和俄亥俄州的马塞勒斯-尤蒂卡盆地输送到位于德克萨斯州蒙特贝尔维尤的EPP天然气液体储存联合体。

ATEX乙烷管道目前的乙烷日输送能为14.5万桶。EPP正在评估通过改进和修改现有基础设施来增加4.5万桶/天的扩建方案。扩建后的产能预计将在2022年投产。

Enterprise to proceed with ATEX ethane pipeline expansion

Enterprise Products Partners LP will proceed with an expansion of its Appalachia-to-Texas (ATEX) ethane pipeline based on commitments received during a recent binding open season.

The 1,200-mile ATEX pipeline transports ethane from the Marcellus-Utica basin of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio to EPP’s natural gas liquids storage complex in Mont Belvieu, Tex.

The current capacity of ATEX is 145,000 b/d. EPP is evaluating expansion alternatives that would add 45,000 b/d of incremental capacity through improvements and modifications to existing infrastructure. The expanded capacity is expected to be available by 2022.
