The 30 inch diameter Rich Eagle Ford Mainline (REM) will have a capacity of 400 MMcf/d, with the ability to expand capacity to 800 MMcf/d.
In addition to the pipeline, ETP will construct a processing plant and additional facilities at an approximate cost of $US300 million. These projects will expand the Partnership’s extensive midstream infrastructure in the Eagle Ford which includes the recently completed Dos Hermanas Pipeline and the Chisholm Pipeline that is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2011.
The pipeline will originate in Dimmitt County, Texas, and extend to the ETP’s Chisholm Pipeline.
The REM is expected to be in service by the fourth quarter of 2011.
