Mariner East 2 Project nears completion

摘要

Located in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, the Sunoco Logistics Mariner East 2 Project is converting the second oldest refinery in the U.S to a world-class natural gas hub that stores and exports natural gas liquids, such as propane, ethand and butane for domestic use and export. The project is currently in Phase 2, and will provide up to an additional 275,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids for distribution. The operator is currently going through permit review and negotiations with landowners for easements. The projected completion date for Mariner East 2 is 1H 2017. Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. is a Philadelphia-based publicly traded limited partnership that owns more than 8,000 miles of pipelines, moving crude oil through Texas and Oklahoma and gasoline and other refined products throughout the Northeast, Midwest and Gulf Coast. With its roots in the founding of Sun Oil in 1886 in Lima, Ohio, Sunoco Logistics has more than 75 years of experience operating pipeline systems across the nation. The Mariner East projects are designed to provide needed pipeline infrastructure to transport ethane, propane, and other petroleum products from the Marcellus Shale to markets in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Additionally, the Mariner projects will play a major contributing role in repurposing of the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex as the Northeast hub for distribution of natural gas liquids to commercial markets domestically and globally.
