System
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2014--
Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE:ETP)
announced today it has entered into a long-term agreement with XTO
Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation, to provide
midstream services for natural gas produced from certain XTO wells in
the Permian Basin.
ETP will construct a 130 million cubic feet per day cryogenic processing
plant in Glasscock County, Texas with expansion capability to 200
million cubic feet per day and will build over 100 miles of high
pressure and low pressure gathering pipelines connecting to the plant.
The new plant and gathering lines are expected to be in service in the
third quarter of 2014.

The project also provides additional revenue opportunities downstream of
the plant, with connectivity to assets held by ETP. These assets include
the Energy Transfer Fuel gas transmission system, and the Lone Star NGL
pipeline system, which will deliver the NGL barrels to Lone Star’s
fractionating facilities at Mont Belvieu.
