Enterprise Products Partners LP announced that it will build a fully refrigerated ethane export facility on the Texas Gulf Coast. The facility's design will give it an aggregate loading rate of up to 240,000 bbl/d, and it is expected to begin operations in third-quarter 2016. The facility will be integrated with Enterprise's Mont Belvieu complex, which is connected to growing ethane supplies from the Marcellus and Utica shales and includes over 650,000 bbl/d of NGL fractionation capacity and 100 MMbbl of NGL storage capacity.
