Sunoco plans additional Mariner East 2 pipeline
Friday, March 3, 2017
Following the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s decision to approve permits for the Mariner East 2 pipeline, Sunoco Logistics Partners has decided to build two pipelines as part of the project, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The DEP’s approval of the project convinced more producers to get on board with the projects, proving there was greater interest in building an additional pipeline to connect the Marcellus and Utica shale plays. Sunoco hopes to entice more shippers of natural gas to buy capacity on the new pipeline.
The company is also trying to convince a big customer to build a plant at its Marcus Hook site to convert propane into propylene for the petrochemical market. However, pipeline permit delays has slowed the process.
