The EnLink Midstream companies, EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: ENLK) and EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC), announced that a subsidiary of the partnership will launch a binding open season for expansion capacity volume commitments for common carrier transportation service on its existing Greater Chickadee crude oil gathering system, located in Texas’ Upton and Midland counties within the Permian’s Midland Basin.
The expansion will increase Greater Chickadee’s operational capacity from approximately 62,000 barrels per day to approximately 100,000 bpd and will include additional capacity both on Greater Chickadee’s trunkline and gathering pipelines. EnLink expects the Greater Chickadee expansion to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2018.
The open season begins August 2, 2018, at 8 a.m. Central time and will close September 4, 2018, at 5 p.m. Central time.
“The Greater Chickadee expansion exemplifies our growth strategy of ‘increasing asset utilization in the Midland Basin’ by building out our existing crude oil assets for enhanced customer service,” said Michael J. Garberding, EnLink President and Chief Executive Officer. “This expansion will facilitate continued throughput growth on our Midland Basin footprint, which is expected to increase steadily throughout 2019.”
