Energy Transfer Partners Completes Jackson Plant Expansion in Eagle Ford Shale

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP) (San Antonio, Texas) finished construction on the fourth train at its natural gas processing plant in Jackson County, in southern Texas. Nameplate capacity of the plant is now at 800 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD).

The plant entered into long-term, fee-based agreements with multiple producers, including Rosetta Resources Operating LP (NYSE:ROSE) (Houston, Texas), SM Energy Company (NYSE:SM) (Denver, Colorado), and a subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:APC) (The Woodlands, Texas). It began full-scale production in 2012 to provide natural gas-gathering, processing and liquids services from the prolific Eagle Ford Shale.

Troy Construction (Houston, Texas) handled the construction of the addition, and Moore Control Systems (Katy, Texas) handled the electrical services.

Energy Transfer also has its 130-mile, 340,000-barrel-per-day Justice NGL Pipeline, which runs from the Jackson plant to Mont Belvieu, Texas. The Jackson plant and Energy Transfer's 1 billion-cubic-foot-per-day Rich Eagle Ford Mainline (REM) Pipeline, which goes east into Jackson County, were also part of a $450 million investment in the Eagle Ford Shale.

Energy Transfer is in talks to expand the 200 million-standard-cubic-foot-per-day Kenedy plant in south Texas by adding another such train, bringing total capacity of the plant to 400 million standard cubic feet per day. Construction is expected to begin by late 2014, with completion scheduled for mid-2015.

Another significant project proposed by Energy Transfer Partners that is in its early phase is the $1.5 billion Trunkline Natural Gas-to-Crude Oil Conversion Project. The project will convert an existing, 30-inch-diameter, 700-mile pipeline from natural gas to crude oil, in order to transport 420,000 to 660,000 barrels per day of Bakken and Canadian Oil Sands crude oil from Patoka, Illinois, to refinery areas in St. James, Louisiana, and the eastern Gulf Coast. Construction is expected to begin by mid-2014. The project is expected to be in service by the first quarter of 2015.
