Mont Belvieu is on track to complete its fractionation expansion on time, with the project set to come online later this year, according to Genscape’s Natural Gas Liquids Monitor.
Expansions include Lone Star NGL LLC’s 100,000-bbl.-per-day Fractionator II, which is scheduled to go in service in the fourth quarter, as well as ONEOK Partners LP’s 75,000- bbl.- per-day MB-2 train, set to go live in the third quarter. Additionally, Enterprise Products Partners LP’s Fractionator VII and Fractionator VIII are scheduled to go into service in fourth quarter. Each fractionator has a 85,000- bbl.- per-day capacity.
First to come online this year will be a 100,000-bbl.-per-day Targa Resources Corp. subsidiary train, which is set to go online this quarter. This is all according to Genscape, which collects energy market fundamentals and monitors more than half of Mont Belvieu’s fractionation capacity.
“By covering 60% of fractionation by capacity at Mont Belvieu, Genscape is able to provide customers with a comprehensive early warning system for operational upsets,” Jacob Eubank, a Genscape data integrity oil analyst, said in a public statement. “Having insight into events that cause ripples throughout the entire petrochemical feedstock complex and affect olefin price changes is a distinct market advantage.”
