Eagle Rock To Increase NGL Takeaway In Granite Wash

Eagle Rock Energy Partners LP, Houston, has amended its long-term NGL marketing agreement with ONEOK Hydrocarbon LP to increase ONEOK's volume takeaway commitment with respect to certain of the partnership's processing plants in the Texas Panhandle.

The amendment increases Eagle Rock's NGL transportation and fractionation capacity by approximately 58%, staged in phases to coincide with the expansion of the Partnership's Phoenix-Arrington Ranch plant and the installation of its Woodall Plant serving the Granite Wash play in Hemphill and Wheeler Counties.

"We are pleased to announce long-term NGL takeaway support for our Phoenix-Arrington Ranch plant expansion and the installation of the Woodall plant in the Texas Panhandle," says Joseph A. Mills, Eagle Rock's chairman and chief executive officer. "Upon the installation of our Woodall plant, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012, Eagle Rock will have processing capacity of approximately 190 MMcf/d serving the Granite Wash play of the Texas Panhandle."
