Oneok to Expand Sterling NGL Pipeline

29 July 2010

Oneok Partners plans to install seven additional pump stations for about $36m along its Sterling I natural gas liquids (NGL) distribution pipeline.

The additions will increase its capacity by 15,000 barrels per day, supplied by the partnership's Mid-Continent NGL infrastructure.

Oneok Partners CEO Terry Spencer said that the expansion enables the transportation of additional NGL purity products and increases the capacity of its optimisation activities.

The installation of the pump stations is expected to begin later in 2010 and be completed in the second half of 2011.
