Sunoco Logistics announced a successful open season for its Mariner East 2 project — an NGL pipeline expansion that will cost approximately $2.5 billion. Mariner East 2 will expand Sunoco’s Mariner East 1 pipeline to deliver NGLs from western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and eastern Ohio to Sunoco’s Marcus Hook Industrial Complex in Pennsylvania. NGLs transported via the pipeline will be stored at the complex for distribution to local, domestic and international markets.
Mariner East 2 will add 345,000 barrels per day of NGL takeaway capacity to Mariner East 1’s existing capacity of 70,000 barrels per day. Mariner East 1 is expected to begin service by the end of the year. Sunoco expects Mariner East 2 to be operational by the end of 2016.
