ONEOK Inc. plans to expand its Mid-Continent NGL gathering system and its existing Sterling III Pipeline. The expansions, which are backed by a long-term contract with a subsidiary of EnLink Midstream Partners LP and EnLink Midstream LLC, will help accommodate expected volume growth from current and certain future EnLink natural gas processing plants in the STACK play in western Oklahoma, along with expected growth from other customers in the region.
Expansions include increasing capacity on the Sterling III Pipeline to 250,000 bpd from 190,000 bpd and connecting ONEOK's Arbuckle Pipeline to EnLink's Cajun-Sibon Pipeline in southeast Texas. ONEOK's Sterling III Pipeline transports either unfractionated NGLs or NGL purity products between ONEOK's Mid- Continent NGL infrastructure and similar facilities on the Gulf Coast in Mont Belvieu, Texas.
ONEOK expects to invest approximately $130 million for these projects, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
