The pipeline construction and commissioning were completed late last week with initial product deliveries beginning today. Joe Rothbauer, vice president of midstream operations for LDH Energy Pipeline, said: "The pipeline extension will provide incremental natural gas liquid capacity for Permian Basin The Permian Basin is a sedimentary basin largely contained in the western part of the U.S. state of Texas. It reaches from just south of Lubbock, Texas, to just south of Midland & Odessa, extending westward into the southeastern part of the adjacent state of New Mexico. , East Texas and Barnett Shale The Barnett Shale is a geological formation of economic significance. It consists of sedimentary rocks of Mississippian age in the U.S. State of Texas. The formation is estimated to stretch from the city of Dallas to west of the city of Fort Worth and south, covering 5,000 square development. The 31-mile pipeline will provide direct access to the Mont Belvieu natural gas liquids hub and allows LDH Energy Pipeline to fully utilize the capacity of the entire pipeline system." Construction of the Hull to Mont Belvieu extension began in late 2006. The 12-inch pipeline will have a capacity of more than 130,000 barrels per day Barrels per day (abbreviated BPD, bbl/d, bpd, bd or b/d) is a measurement used to describe the amount of crude oil (measured in barrels) produced or consumed by an entity in one day. .
