DENVER BUSINESS JOURNAL — The companies operating a 435-mile-long mixed natural gas liquids pipeline that runs across the state of Colorado down to Texas want to expand the pipeline's capacity by 67 percent
Two Texas companies — Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and Western Gas Partners, LP — and Denver-based DCP Midstream, LP (NYSE: DCP) said they want to addadditional capacity on the Front Range Pipeline, which transports mixed natural gas liquids (NGLs) from the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Weld County, Colorado to Skellytown, Texas in Carson County.
Right now, the pipeline's capacity is 150,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) and the companies want to increase capacity to 250,000 BPD.
"The expansion of Front Range is designed to facilitate growing production of NGLs from the DJ Basin, which is expected to increase by approximately 40 percent over the next four years as development of oil and natural gas, made possible by the shale revolution, continues. In addition, an incremental 800 million cubic feet per day of natural gas processing capacity is expected to come online by the end of 2019," the companies said in a statement.
