Lonestar Land Services teams up with DCP Midstream in several markets across Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Lonestar will provide Right of Way acquisition, permitting and title support for several phases of projects in these market areas.
DCP Midstream announced in June an agreement to acquire the Seaway Products Pipeline Company from ConocoPhillips to create a new natural gas liquids pipeline for transportation capacity from the Midcontinent to the premium Texas Gulf Coast markets, including Mont Belvieu. The pipeline will be renamed Southern Hills Pipeline and converted from refined products service to an interstate natural gas liquids pipeline. DCP Midstream will add extensions into Mont Belvieu, Texas, along with various receipt points in the Midcontinent region and associated gathering infrastructure.
Southern Hills Pipeline will have a target capacity of close to 150,000 barrels per day of Y-grade NGLs and be connected to several DCP Midstream processing plants. Southern Hills Pipeline is expected to be in service as early as mid-2013.
“We are seeing tremendous producer interest in our Southern Hills Pipeline project,” said Bill Waldheim, president of DCP Midstream’s northern business unit. “Similar to our Sand Hills 720-mile, 20-inch, Y-grade NGL pipeline that is currently under construction, which will alleviate NGL bottlenecks in the Permian basin, so, too, will Southern Hills Pipeline provide Midcontinent producers access to the premium priced Gulf Coast NGL markets.”
