Lone Star LLC –– a joint venture
between Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) and
Regency Energy Partners L.P. (RGNC) –– announced
that it will construct a 530-mile natural gas liquids (NGL)
pipeline for $700 million.
Energy Transfer will fund 70% of
the estimated cost, while Regency Energy will contribute the
remaining portion.
The new pipeline, connecting Texas’
Winkler County and the Jackson County processing plant, will have a
minimum capacity of approximately 130,000 barrels per day. The
capacity of the pipeline is expandable, depending on further
negotiations.
The venture has over 65% of the
capacity contracted with producers and processors and is likely to
be completed by the first quarter of 2013.
As elucidated by the spokesperson
of Lone Star, the increased drilling activity in the Permian Basin
calls for additional NGL transportation capacity from west Texas.
Lone Star is favorably positioned to take advantage of this
opportunity through various development projects.
In recent times,Energy Transfer,
along with Regency Energy Partners acquired LDH Energy Asset
Holdings and renamed it Lone Star. We believe that this acquisition
will broaden Energy Transfer’s asset base with strong midstream
services and transportation and storage businesses apart from
providing additional consistent fee-based revenues in the coming
months.
As per an announcement made by Lone
Star in May, it will construct 100,000 barrels per day natural gas
liquids fractionation facility at Mont Belvieu, Texas at an
estimated cost of $350 million to $375 million.
We are maintaining our long-term
Neutral rating on Energy Transfer, given its growth momentum, aided
by acquisitions and joint ventures, strong volume expansion and
modest price increases. These positive aspects are somewhat diluted
by the challenging macro environment, weak natural gas fundamentals
and cost overruns on development projects.
