Yahoo Finance Targa (TRGP) Unit Seeks Shipper Interest for NGL Pipeline
Targa Resources Corporation’s TRGP fully-owned affiliate Targa NGL Pipeline Company LLC recently commenced an open season to see if it can obtain enough committed contracts for an interstate natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline. The transportation service will run from a planned interconnection with upstream pipeline facilities in Kingfisher County, OK to Mont Belvieu, TX.
Pipeline construction involves huge capital investments, which are allocated to laying down new pipelines as well as expansion and maintenance of the existing operations. An open season offers better visibility of demand for the new pipeline with regard to long-term transportation.
Targa Resources’ open season began last Wednesday and is expected to close on Jul 31, 2020. Potential shippers are expected to make volume commitments for the pipeline during this period. This open season will offer them a chance to secure firm capacity for NGL transportation, contingent on their transportation service agreements stipulations. Depending on the outcomes of this open season, Targa Resources will decide the final volume of capacity for both committed and uncommitted service on the project.
The company is currently stretching its Grand Prix pipeline system to the new Kingfisher County interconnection from where it is intended to connect with Williams’ WMB new Bluestem Pipeline. Post completion of this project, Targa Resources’ expanded Grand Prix pipeline will hold an initial volume of nearly 120,000 barrels per day. The $200-million pipeline extension is slated to come online in early 2021.
