Phillips 66 is considering adding a condensate splitter to its Sweeny refinery, company officials said last week. Bloomberg reports that Phillips 66 is conducting preliminary engineering on such a unit, which would separate light crude from the Eagle Ford shale into intermediate products that could be processed at Sweeny or sold elsewhere.
Phillips 66’s board of directors last month approved the construction of a 100,000-barrel-per-day NGL fractionator near the Sweeny refinery. It is expected to start up in the third quarter of 2015.
