Mariner East 1 Provides Critical Transportation of Natural Gas
Liquids from Eastern Ohio to the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex
Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) announced that effective today, Mariner
East 1 pipeline has resumed operations. The 350-mile, 8-inch natural gas
liquids (NGL) pipeline transports NGLs across Southern Pennsylvania to
Energy Transfer’s Marcus Hook Industrial Complex in Delaware County, PA.
Energy Transfer worked closely with the Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement (BI&E) throughout an
extensive three-month investigation, through which Energy Transfer
confirmed the integrity of the pipeline in the area of West Whiteland
Township, Chester County, PA. The investigation also confirmed that at
no time was Mariner East 1 ever destabilized in this area.
Mariner East 1 is part of Energy Transfer’s Mariner East system of
pipelines designed to provide much-needed NGL takeaway capacity for the
Marcellus and Utica Shale production areas in Eastern Ohio, West
Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.
