PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES natural gas pipeline from Vinton, Ohio, to Burlington, Ohio, on a portion of Columbia’s R-System. Columbia proposes to replace the existing pipeline potentially with 36-inch-diame-ter pipeline necessary to provide 275,000 Dth/d of additional firm capacity for the project. Upon completion, the replaced line will be known as R-801. Columbia is proposing to place the project into service in November 2020. A phased in-ser-vice approach may be considered once customer negotia-tions are complete.

Crimson Midstream and MPLX announced the commence-ment of a binding open season to assess interest and solicit commitments from prospective shippers for transportation service on the Swordfish Pipeline. The Swordfish Pipeline is being jointly developed by Crimson and MPLX to provide connectivity from existing terminal facilities in St. James, Lou-isiana, and Raceland, Louisiana, to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port terminal facility in Clovelly, Louisiana. The proposed pipeline would be a multi-diameter batched system with the ability to transport up to 600,000 barrels of crude oil per day and provide shippers with access to storage services, ves-sel loading, as well as connectivity to other carriers at the Clovelly Hub. The in-service date for the Swordfish Pipeline is anticipated to be in the first half of 2020. The binding open

season began at 8 a.m. CDT on Oct. 17, 2018, and conclud-ed at noon CST on Nov. 30, 2018. The binding open season provided interested shippers with an opportunity to secure transportation service on the proposed pipeline.

The FERC has issued a favorable Environmental As-sessment to Dominion Energy Transmission for the proposed Sweden Valley Project. The project will in-clude construction of: approximately 1.7 miles 20 inch pipeline lateral to the new Port Washington Metering and Regulation (M&R) delivery point in Tuscarawas County, OH; approximately 3.2 miles of 24-inch pipeline looping in Greene County, PA; the re-wheel of compressors on three existing centrifugal compression sets at Dominion’s existing Newark Compressor Station in Licking County, OH; the installation of regulation equipment at Dominion existing South Bend Compressor Station in Armstrong County, PA and Leidy M&R Station in Clinton County, PA; and the construction of related appurtenant facilities. Do-minion is proposing incremental rates for transportation service on the facilities proposed for construction herein. The cost of the project will be $49,876,709 million. If ap-proved, the project will begin construction in early 2019 and will complete in late 2019.

Buckeye Partners, L.P. announced the formation of a joint venture with Phillips 66 Partners LP and Andeavor to develop a new deep-water, open access marine terminal in Ingleside, Texas. The will be constructed on a 212 acre waterfront parcel at the mouth of Corpus Christi Bay. The facility is positioned to serve as the primary outlet for crude oil and condensate volumes delivered off of the planned Gray Oak pipeline from the Permian Basin. The terminal, to be constructed and operated by Buckeye, will offer 3.4 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity, connectivity to the Gray Oak pipeline and two deep-water vessel docks capable of berthing Very Large Crude Carrier petroleum tankers as part of the initial scope of construction. The fa-cility can ultimately be expanded to include over 10 million barrels of storage capacity as well as multiple additional docks and other inbound pipeline connections. The ini-tial construction of the terminal is supported by long-term minimum volume throughput commitments from credit-worthy customers, including Phillips 66 and Andeavor, and is scheduled to commence initial operations by the end of 2019. Buckeye will own a 50% interest in the newly formed joint venture and Phillips 66 Partners and Andeavor will each own a 25% interest.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has prepared a favorable Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Calcasieu Pass LNG Project. The proposed project would include a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export termi-nal and 23.4 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The terminal would include the following facilities: liquefaction facilities; two full-containment LNG aboveground storage tanks, each with a usable capacity of approximately 200,000 cubic meters; a 720 megawatt elec-tric generating plant; a marine terminal consisting of a turn-ing basin and LNG carrier berths; LNG piping; transfer lines; loading facilities; and other infrastructure. The pipeline would include the following facilities: one meter station; three main-line valves; one pipeline inspection/cleaning device launcher at the meter station; and one pipeline inspection/cleaning de-vice receiver on the terminal site. The FERC staff concludes that construction and operation of the project would result in some adverse environmental impacts, but these impacts would be reduced to less-than-significant levels.

Columbia Gas Transmission has filed a formal application with the FERC seeking to construct the Buckeye Xpress Project. The proposed project would include replacement of approximately 64 miles of existing, aging 20-inch and 24-inch

subscriptions made by shippers during the Expansion Open Season. The Bakken Pipeline System is operated by a whol-ly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. The Expansion Open Season commenced at 2:00 p.m. (Central Time) on October 19, 2018.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. announced a series of projects designed to provide an additional 55,000 barrels per day of fractionation capacity at existing facilities in Texas and Louisiana. As part of the initiative, Enterprise plans to optimize its Shoup fractionator in Nueces County, Texas by expanding and repurposing a portion of the partnership’s South Texas pipeline system. Construction of approximately 21 miles of new pipeline along with the conversion of approx-imately 65 miles of existing natural gas pipeline to natural gas liquids service would allow Enterprise to supply Shoup with 25,000 BPD of additional NGL volumes. The expand-ed pipeline capacity is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2019. In Louisiana, Enterprise plans to restart its 30,000 BPD Tebone fractionator in Ascension Parish. The plant is connected by pipeline to each of the partnership’s Louisiana natural gas processing plants, as well as its NGL fractionation and storage hub in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The resumption of service at Tebone, which is expected in the

first quarter of 2019, will complement Enterprise’s Norco and Promix fractionators, providing another option for NGLs de-livered to Mont Belvieu.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. announced it has begun construction of the Mentone cryogenic natural gas process-ing plant in Loving County, Texas. The facility, which is ex-pected to begin service in the first quarter of 2020, will have the capacity to process 300 million cubic feet per day of natu-ral gas and extract in excess of 40,000 barrels per day of natural gas liquids. The project is supported by a long-term acreage dedication agreement. To support development of Mentone, Enterprise is constructing 66 miles of large- diame-ter gathering and residue pipelines and expanding compres-sion capabilities. The projects will allow the Mentone natural gas processing plant to link to the partnership’s NGL system, including the Shin Oak pipeline scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2019, as well as Enterprise’s existing Texas Intrastate natural gas pipeline network.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. announced plans for an incremental 150,000 barrels per day expansion to its natural gas liquids fractionation facilities at its Mont Belvieu complex. The expansion would increase Enterprise’s NGL

Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. and Navigator Ener-gy Services announced the launch of an open season to jointly assess customer interest to transport various grades of light crude oil and condensate from Cushing, Oklahoma to Houston, Texas. All potential customers must submit binding commitments by 12:00 p.m. Central Time on Jan. 31, 2019.The proposed Voyager Pipeline would include construction of nearly 500 miles of 20-inch diameter pipeline from Ma-gellan’s terminal in Cushing to Magellan’s terminal in East Houston. At the origin, the Voyager pipeline would provide shippers optionality to originate deliveries at Cushing from the Magellan-operated Saddlehorn pipeline serving the Rockies and Bakken production regions, Navigator’s Glass Mountain pipeline serving the Mid-Continent basins as well as other connections within the strategic Cushing crude oil hub.At the destination, Magellan’s comprehensive Houston crude oil distribution system could further deliver the prod-uct to all refineries in the Houston and Texas City area or to crude oil export facilities, such as Magellan’s Seabrook Logistics joint venture terminal. The potential pipeline sys-tem is expected to have an initial capacity of at least 250,000 barrels per day with the ability to expand further if warranted by industry demand. Subject to receipt of sufficient customer commitments and all necessary permits and approvals, the

proposed pipeline is planned to be operational by the end of 2020. In addition, Magellan is currently evaluating a potential crude oil pipeline from Houston to Corpus Christi, Texas and a crude oil export terminal on Harbor Island in Corpus Christi capable of loading VLCCs, or very large crude carriers, which may be of interest to potential committed shippers.

Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. recently held an exten-sion of the open season to solicit commitments from ship-pers for a new pipeline to transport various grades of crude oil and condensate from the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins to multiple destinations in the Corpus Christi and Houston, Texas markets, including Magellan’s existing crude oil termi-nals in these markets. The proposed project would include construction of an approximately 375-mile, 24-inch diameter pipeline from Crane to a location near Three Rivers, Texas, providing shippers the option to ultimately deliver crude oil and condensate from the Three Rivers area to the Houston area via a new 200-mile pipeline or to the Corpus Christi area via a new 70-mile pipeline. The potential pipeline sys-tem is expected to have an initial capacity of at least 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) with the ability to expand up to 600,000 bpd for each destination, if warranted by industry demand. Additional pipeline extensions are being considered for Mid-

completed engineering, design, and right-of-way planning for the pipeline. As designed, it will be the only pipeline out of the Permian Basin that can access all three deep water ports in Texas (Houston, Corpus Christi and Brownsville) and will have direct access to a fully capable VLCC loading facility. Char-on’s investment comes on the heels of Jupiter announcing in May that it had secured all initial governmental and regulatory permits to load/unload vessels of up to 65,000 deadweight tons or Panamax sized vessels at the Jupiter Export Terminal. Jupiter had already secured permits to construct more than 2.8 million barrels of storage in Brownsville and has additional permits on file to increase its storage footprint to more than 6 million barrels, of the potential 10 million barrels of storage capacity. The company is also in the final stages of securing a permit to construct a 170,000 barrel per day processing facil-ity which is designed to process light U.S. Shale crude into on-spec U.S. gasoline and ultralow sulphur diesel.

Medallion Pipeline Company, LLC announced the success-ful closing of its binding open season for a major expansion of its existing crude oil pipeline system in the Midland Basin (the “Expansion”). As previously announced, Medallion will expand six segments of its pipeline system to transport in-creased quantities of crude oil, produced form acreage proxi-

mate to Medallion’s system, to downstream pipelines and markets. Based on the capacity bids received during the open season, Medallion has received long-term binding commit-ments sufficient to move forward with the construction of the Expansion. The Expansion is expected to commence com-mercial operations in phases, with full commercial operations occurring during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. recently held an open season for the expansion of the western leg of its refined products pipeline system in Texas and has launched an open season to assess customer interest. The proposed expan-sion would increase Magellan’s capability to transport refined petroleum products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, from Gulf Coast refineries to demand centers in Abilene, Midland/Odessa and El Paso, Texas, with further optionality to access markets in the states of New Mexico and Arizona, as well as international markets in Mexico via connections to other pipe-lines owned by Magellan and third parties. The pipeline’s cur-rent capacity of 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) could increase to 140,000 bpd following the expansion. Subject to the results of this open season and receipt of all necessary permits and approvals, the expanded capacity could be operational by mid-2020.

Medallion Pipeline announced the successful closing of its binding open season for a major expansion to its existing crude oil pipeline system in the Midland Basin. As previously announced, Medallion will expand six segments of its pipe-line system to transport increased quantities of crude oil, produced from acreage near Medallion’s system, to down-stream pipelines and markets. Medallion plans to construct a 16-inch operational loop of its existing Midkiff Lateral and plans to expand the capacity of the Crane Extension, Rea-gan Gathering Extension, Santa Rita Lateral, Martin Lateral and Midland Lateral. Initially placed in service in October 2014, Medallion’s crude oil pipeline has undertaken a series of expansions to meet the increasing needs of producers and marketers in the Midland Basin. The existing system is a network of roughly 700 miles of 6-inch and larger crude oil pipeline facilities that aggregate and transport crude oil production to the Colorado City (Texas) Hub, the Crane Hub and the Midland Hub, providing access to multiple long-haul, large-volume pipelines for transportation to downstream

markets. Based on the capacity bids received during the open season, Medallion has received long-term binding commitments sufficient to move forward with construction. The expansion is expected to commence commercial opera-tions in phases, with full commercial operations occurring during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Mountain Valley Pipeline formally applied for approval to construct a 73-mile natural gas pipeline extending from Chatham across state lines into North Carolina. The pipe-line extension, the Southgate project would connect with Mountain Valley’s contentious mainline that’s set to end in Pittsylvania County. Though the mainline is currently under construction, it isn’t projected to finish until the final months of 2019 assuming no further delays occur. For the project to receive the necessary permits, MVP must prove to the Fed-eral Energy Regulatory Commission there is a need for the pipeline and all efforts have been made to limit the impact to the public. The commission is the federal body charged with certifying interstate pipeline projects. One day before MVP filed its application, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality submitted a letter to federal com-mission stating it questioned whether the Southgate exten-sion project met the commission’s criteria to “deem it in

the public interest” or essential to state’s growth. The FERC’s lengthy application process will take several months to complete.

ONEOK, Inc. announced plans to construct addi-tional natural gas liquids (NGL) and natural gas in-frastructure, including: a new 125,000-barrel per day (bpd) NGL fractionator – MB-5 – in Mont Belvieu, Texas, and related infrastructure; a new 200-million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility – the Demicks Lake II plant and related in-frastructure – in the Williston Basin; an extension of ONEOK's Arbuckle II NGL pipeline further north and additional NGL gathering infrastructure to increase capacity between the Mid-Continent market hub and Arbuckle II; an expansion of the Arbuckle II NGL pipeline by approximately 100,000 bpd to increase total capacity up to 500,000 bpd by adding pump stations. These projects are expected to generate adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, deprecia-tion and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) multiples of four to six times. ONEOK still does not expect any equity issuances in 2018 or well into 2019.

ONEOK, Inc. announced plans to invest approxi-mately $295 million to expand its West Texas LPG Limited Partnership (West Texas LPG) pipeline system, which provides natural gas liquids (NGL) takeaway capacity for Permian Basin producers. The expansion project, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2020, is supported

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES by long-term dedicated NGL production from six third-par-ty natural gas processing plants in the Permian Basin that are expected to produce up to 60,000 barrels per day (bpd) of NGLs. The expansion includes the construction of four new pump stations, two pump station upgrades and pipe-line looping that will increase the West Texas LPG mainline capacity by 80,000 bpd and additional infrastructure to con-nect West Texas LPG with ONEOK's previously announced Arbuckle II Pipeline project. Based on the initial contracted volume, the expansion project is expected to generate an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) multiple of four to six times. ONEOK continues discussions with producers and proces-sors in the region for additional potential volume commit-ments. ONEOK's previously announced 110,000 bpd pipe-line lateral extension of the West Texas LPG system into the Delaware Basin and expansion of the existing mainline system is currently under construction and expected to be in service this month. The West Texas LPG Pipeline is an NGL pipeline system that provides takeaway capacity to Perm-ian Basin producers and consists of approximately 2,600 miles of NGL pipeline in Texas and New Mexico. The system provides transportation services to the Mont Belvieu mar-ket center from nearly 40 third-party natural gas processing plants located in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin in southeastern New Mexico and western Texas is the largest crude oil and natural gas producing basin in the U.S.

ONEOK, Inc. will construct a new pipeline, and related in-frastructure, to transport natural gas liquids (NGLs) from the Rocky Mountain region to the company's existing Mid-Con-tinent NGL facilities. The Elk Creek Pipeline – an approxi-mately 900-mile, 20-inch diameter pipeline that is expected to be completed by the end of 2019 – will have the capacity to transport up to 240,000 barrels per day (bpd) of unfrac-tionated NGLs from near the company's Riverview termi-nal in eastern Montana to Bushton, Kansas. The Elk Creek Pipeline is expected to cost approximately $1.2 billion, with related infrastructure costs expected to total approximately $200 million. The pipeline will have the capability to be ex-panded to 400,000 bpd with additional pump facilities.

ONEOK, Inc. plans to invest approximately $2.3 billion be-tween now and 2020 to construct: a new 400,000-barrel per day (bpd) natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline – the Arbuckle II Pipeline – that will create additional NGL transportation capacity between ONEOK's extensive Mid-Continent in-frastructure in Oklahoma and the company's existing NGL facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas; a new 125,000 bpd NGL fractionator – MB-4 – in Mont Belvieu, Texas, and related infrastructure; and a new 200-million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility – the Demicks Lake plant and related infrastructure – in the Williston Basin. Arbuckle II Pipeline and MB-4: The approximately 530-mile, 24- and 30-inch diameter Arbuckle II Pipeline is expect-

ed to cost approximately $1.36 billion and will have an initial capacity to transport up to 400,000 bpd of unfractionated NGLs originating across ONEOK's supply basins and exten-sive NGL gathering system to the company's storage and fractionation facilities at Mont Belvieu. The Arbuckle II Pipe-line is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2020. The pipeline will have the capability to be expanded up to 1

million bpd with additional pump facilities, which could more than double ONEOK's current capacity between the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast. The new MB-4 fractionator and related infrastructure, which includes additional NGL storage capacity in Mont Belvieu, are expected to cost approximate-ly $575 million and be completed in the first quarter 2020. ONEOK's total NGL fractionation capacity will increase to 965,000 bpd following the completion of MB-4. The initial capacity of the Arbuckle II Pipeline is more than 50 percent contracted, and MB-4 is fully contracted. Both are anchored by long-term contracts with terms ranging between 10 to 20 years. Adjusted EBITDA multiples for these projects are based only from these commitments but additional sup-ply agreements continue to be negotiated. Demicks Lake plant and related infrastructure: The Demicks Lake natu-ral gas processing plant and related field infrastructure are expected to cost a total of approximately $400 million and be completed during the fourth quarter 2019. The Demicks Lake plant will be built in McKenzie County, North Dakota, which is in the core area of the Williston Basin. The plant is supported by acreage dedications with primarily fee-based contracts. The Demicks Lake plant is expected to contribute additional NGL volumes to ONEOK's NGL gathering system and natural gas volumes to ONEOK's 50 percent-owned Northern Border Pipeline. ONEOK's Williston Basin natural gas processing capacity will increase to more than 1.2 billion cubic feet per day following the completion of the Demicks Lake plant.

Permico Energia is planning to build a 510 mile (821km) pipeline from the Permian basin in West Texas to a new frac-tionator it will build near Corpus Christi, TX. The pipeline, called Companero, will have an initial capacity of 300,000 bbl/day of natural gas liquids (NGLs), said Permico, a US-based midstream company. The fractionator, called El Cen-tro, will have a capacity of 300,000 bbl/day, Permico said. Another pipeline will lead from the new fractionator and terminate at the US NGL hub in Mont Belvieu, Texas, Per-mico said. It will have a length of 230 miles, have a capac-ity of 250,000 bbl/day and have ethane and propane ser-vice. The fractionator will have yet another pipeline, called Markham, that will have a length of 116 miles, have a ca-pacity of 175,000 bbl/day and have ethane, propane and y-grade service, Permico said. This pipeline will terminate at the Markham storage facility. Construction will start in the early 2019, and operations should start in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Liberty Pipeline is ex-pected to have an initial throughput capacity of 350,000 barrels per day (BPD) with the ability to expand further

depending on shipper interest in the open season. The pipe-line is anticipated to be placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2020. Phillips 66 also announces an open season for the proposed Red Oak Pipeline, which will provide shippers the opportunity to secure crude oil transportation service from Cushing, Oklahoma, to Corpus Christi, Houston and Beau-mont, Texas. The Red Oak Pipeline is expected to have an initial throughput capacity of 400,000 BPD with the ability to expand further depending on shipper interest in the open season. The pipeline is anticipated to be placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2020. Both the Liberty Pipeline and the Red Oak Pipeline open seasons commenced at 12 p.m. CST on Nov. 12, 2018.

Phillips 66 Partners announced that it has received suffi-cient binding commitments on an initial open season to pro-ceed with construction of the Gray Oak Pipeline system. The Gray Oak Pipeline will provide crude oil transportation from West Texas to destinations in the Corpus Christi and Sweeny/Freeport markets. Bids are in and being evaluat-ed. Origination stations will be constructed in Reeves, Lov-ing, Winkler, and Crane counties in West Texas, as well as from locations in the Eagle Ford production area in South Texas. The pipeline is expected to be placed in service by the end of 2019, and is backed by long-term, third-party, take-or-pay commitments with primarily investment-grade customers. Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC, a joint venture owned 75 percent by Phillips 66 Partners and 25 percent by An-deavor, will own the pipeline system. Other third parties, including Enbridge Inc., have an option to acquire up to 32.75 percent interest in the joint venture. If all options are exercised, Phillips 66 Partners’ ownership would be 42.25 percent and Andeavor’s ownership would remain 25 percent. Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC received enough volume commitments in the form of precedent agreements to hold a second binding open season. This open season pro-vides an opportunity for additional shippers to enter into transportation services agreements that provide long-term crude oil transportation on the Gray Oak Pipeline. The ulti-mate scope and capacity of the pipeline will depend on the outcome of the second open season. Subject to the results of the open season, the Gray Oak Pipeline could transport up to 700,000 barrels per day or more of crude oil from the Permian Basin to downstream markets. Its capacity could ultimately be expanded to approximately 1 million barrels per day of long-haul takeaway. In Corpus Christi, the Gray Oak Pipeline will connect to a new joint venture marine terminal under development by Buckeye Partners, L.P. Buckeye will have a 50 percent interest in the terminal joint venture and will be the operator, while Phillips 66 Partners and Andeavor each will have a 25 percent ownership inter-est. The terminal will have an initial storage capacity of 3.4 million barrels and is expected to begin operations by the end of 2019.

Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC, a subsidiary of Sempra LNG & Midstream, has received a Draft Environmental Impact Statement from the FERC for its proposed natural gas pipeline in connection with the proposed development of the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project by Port Arthur LNG, LLC, and PALNG Common Facilities in Jefferson County, Texas. The Texas Connector Project will be comprised of two segments totaling 34.2 miles of new 42-inch diameter pipeline and approximately 4.65 miles of variable diameter lateral pipelines. The 26.6 mile northern pipeline segment will transport gas from interconnections with Houston Pipe-line Company, Texas Eastern Transmission, and Florida Gas Transmission Company. This northern segment will also interconnect with underground natural gas storage facili-ties at the Golden Triangle Storage and Centana Intrastate Pipeline, LLC facilities in Jefferson County, Texas. The 7.6 mile southern pipeline segment extending south from the Liquefaction Project will interconnect with the existing pipe-line systems of Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America and Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline Company in Cam-eron Parish, Louisiana. The Texas Connector Project will be capable of delivering approximately 2,000,000 million Brit-ish thermal units (“MMBtu”) per day of natural gas to the Liquefaction Project. The northern pipeline segment will be located in Orange and Jefferson Counties, Texas, and the southern segment in Jefferson County, Texas and Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The pipeline will also pass through the jurisdictional boundaries of the cities of Beaumont and Port Arthur, Texas. Approximately one mile of the south segment will be installed under Sabine Pass shipping channel via horizontal directional drilling. Port Arthur Pipeline proposes to construct two compressor stations, one for the south pipe-line segment and one for the north pipeline segment. The major compressor station equipment will be comprised of compressors with either natural gas or electric drivers, suc-tion scrubbers upstream of the compressors, electric motor-driven natural gas coolers downstream of the compressors, unit and station blowdowns with silencers, above and below ground piping and valves, and system utilities. The meter stations will consist of unmanned facilities containing a me-ter and regulator building, pig launcher/receiver assemblies, meter and control valve skid, separator, condensate tank, associated above and below ground piping, and valve fix-tures to tie-in to the two proposed pipeline segments. Con-struction is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2021, with commercial operations expected to begin in third quar-ter of 2022. On October 16, 2017, Port Arthur Pipeline filed another application requesting a certificate of public conve-nience and necessity for the Louisiana Connector Project, authorizing Port Arthur Pipeline to construct, own, and oper-ate additional new proposed Liquefaction Facility south of Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas. The Louisiana Con-nector Project will be capable of delivering approximately 2,000,000 MMBtu per day of natural gas to the Liquefaction Project. The Louisiana Connector Project, along with the

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES Texas Connector Project facilities proposed in this proceed-ing, will be the primary means of delivery of feed gas to the Liquefaction Project. The anticipated construction start date is 1st quarter of 2021 with in-service slated for 3rd quarter 2022.The Louisiana Connector Project will include 131 miles of 42-inch diameter gas pipeline, a new compressor sta-tion, interconnection facilities with interstate and intrastate natural gas facilities, and other appurtenant facilities. The proposed Louisiana Connector Project facilities will extend from an interconnect with Columbia Gas Transmission (MP 130.9) located northeast of Eunice, Louisiana in St. Landry Parish through Evangeline, Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, and Cameron Parishes in Louisiana and Jefferson County, Texas and terminate at the proposed Liquefaction Facility south of Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas. The Louisi-ana Connector Project, along with the Texas Connector Proj-ect facilities proposed in this proceeding, will be the primary means of delivery of feed gas to the Liquefaction Project. Both projects are needed to provide service to the Liquefac-tion Project and will allow flexible access to multiple supply basins and systems of upstream transporters. Combined, the projects will give more gas sellers access to Port Arthur LNG and Port Arthur LNG access to more supply basins. The proposed Port Arthur Pipeline Project would consist of two segments oriented north and south of the proposed liquefac-tion project. The 27.6-mile northern portion of the proposed

pipeline project would extend from Vidor in Orange County, TX to the proposed liquefaction project, with the majority of the proposed pipeline co-located with existing energy infra-structure rights-of-way. The approximately 7-mile southern portion of the proposed pipeline project would originate in Cameron Parish, Louisiana on the east bank of Sabine Lake and terminate at the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project. The proposed pipeline project would interconnect the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project to various intra- and interstate pipe-lines, providing access to a number of major U.S. natural gas supply basins. Construction is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2021, with commercial operations expected to begin in third quarter of 2022.

CANADAImperial Oil Ltd. is expected to build a brand new $2.6-bil-lion oilsands project in Alberta, but a newly elected gover-nor in Michigan threatens the company’s ability to move the

additional oil production to its refineries. Imperial recently it would proceed with its 75,000 barrels per day Aspen oil-sands project north of Fort McMurray, Alta., which marks just the second time a new oilsands project has been given a green light since the oil price collapse of 2014, after Ca-nadian Natural Resources Ltd. announced it would build a 40,000 bpd project called Kirby North. The Aspen Project also marks the first full deployment of a technology that com-bines steam with chemicals, called solvents, that oilsands companies have been experimenting with for years in an at-tempt to lower carbon emissions. Construction on the new project will begin before the end of the year and Imperial expects to begin pumping oil from Aspen in 2022, at which point new Canadian export pipelines would be in service.

TransCanada Corporation announced that it will move forward with a $1.5 billion expansion of its NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) System to connect existing and new supply to incremental intra-basin market demand. This expansion program is underpinned by approximately 1.1 billion cubic feet per day of new firm service contracts. Shippers have executed commercial agreements for 754 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of incremental firm de-livery services commencing in April 2022 that will connect growing Alberta market demand in the power generation, oil sands, petrochemical, industrial and utilities segments. Shippers have also concurrently executed 377 MMcf/d of firm receipt services commencing in November 2021 that will connect incremental Montney and Deep Basin supply to the system. The contracts have terms that range from eight to 20 years. The program consists of approximately 197 kilometers (122 miles) of large diameter pipeline, three compression units, meter stations and associated facilities. Applications for approvals to construct and operate the fa-cilities are expected to be filed with the National Energy Board in the second quarter of 2019 and, pending receipt of regulatory approvals, construction will commence as early as the third quarter of 2020, with the majority of the capital investment expected to occur in 2021 and 2022.

The acquisition of the European division in 2015 expanded Weiler’s global reach and added a larger offering of organic and vitrified abrasives to its product lines to serve the weld-ing, metalworking and general industrial markets. With the corporate rebranding, all product brands offered by the com-panies will remain the same, as will the location of the cur-rent head offices and business units.

This rebranding comes only months after Weiler announced the expansion of its Cresco, Pa. global headquarters facil-ity as it continues to invest in lean manufacturing and fac-tory automation. This location, together with its facilities in Europe and South America, will work to forge growth, op-erational excellence, innovation and global leadership in the abrasives market.

Weiler Abrasives GroupExpands Brand Globally

Recently written and shard by Marquetta SmithI’m sitting in a dilapidated arm chair, in an old motel called the Maverick. The tiny strains of a guitar echo from up-stairs. The sun is setting on another day in Oklahoma. My door is open to the flies and the onslaught of humanity. I’m thinking about ordering pizza rather than heating up ramen noodles. People come and go, welding rigs bellow into the parking lot of this cheap motel. It’s a typical Pipe-liner Sunday. Grills are going, the day is winding down, there’s a few spirits being drank, laundry being done. In the gloaming we all face the same challenge from vastly different perspectives. Contractor, gas company, inspec-tion... Tomorrow, we gotta get that pipe in the ground. This is our life. Our lives make the world go round. Every time a car has gas put in it, a gas stove, fireplace or grill are lit, the oil in a car is changed or consumers have oil deliv-ered to heat their home for winter, and many other things. When these things are done, think of and thank a pipeliner. #PipelineLife #Pipeliners #ItsALifeStyle #WeKeepA-mericaMoving

Shared on Thanksgiving by James “JD” DickensTo all friends and family, Happy, Happy, Happy Thanksgiving. Another year to have been blessed beyond measure. The Lord has been awful good to the bunch of us the past year. Although some have suffered through the past dif-ficulties of the year. Some have been blessed to see new beginnings in many ways. Healings in our body, healings to a friend or family member, finances being blessed, wak-ing up daily, claiming the rights of new friendship with oth-ers, healing from a divorce, having new family members being born into the family. No matter what the cost has been, we have triumphed over all adversity thrown our way. With our sustained hope and belief in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we welcome the changes merrily. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!!!!

as division pipeline engineer and then worked his way up to technical operations supervisor and area manager. In 1989, he began to work for Enbridge Energy (formerly known as Lakehead Pipeline Co.). There, he transitioned from the senior project engineer to engineering manager, Chicago district manager and ended as the manager of right-of-way and environment. In 1995 Bob married Terri Breitzmann, a love that grew after being work friends for 5 years. They lived apart for 9 months until Bob and his son were transferred back to Duluth in 1996. They built a home in Duluth and the 3 of them began their life together.One of Bob’s many dreams in life was to own his own busi-ness and in 1997 he and his partner, Dave Rickard, formed United Piping, Inc. (UPI). Bob fearlessly lead as president of UPI for 20 years before recently stepping back to an ad-visory role which allowed him to hold a CEO position and be more active as an advocate for the pipeline industry. Throughout his years at UPI he led the company through tremendous growth, acquisitions, and new markets, but Bob stressed the absolute best part of the UPI story was the people he had the opportunity to meet and work with along the way. He made sure everyone knew that UPI was NOT him, but in fact every single person with a shovel in hand, pulling levers in the machine, rod in the stinger, or invoice they are paying. That is the United Piping Inc. that Bob and Dave helped build. With Bob, it was FAMILY first, and Bob had many families. In 1985 Bob welcomed his son Erik into his life. They spent their years together sharing many hobbies including hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and sharing pipeline industry rumors once Erik followed in his father’s footsteps and became a mechanical engineer. One of Bob’s greatest joys was fishing on Lake Superior. Bob and Terri went to Isle Royale on the boat most every sum-mer beginning with Terri’s dad’s 21 ft Sylvan and upgrading every few years until he had his dream Tiara aptly named “Scho Boat” and “Not so Terri-fied”. They loved spending time together as much as they could and wherever they could. Bob loved spending time at their hunting land near Marengo, WI. He loved hunting and made several trips hunting elk in New Mexico and finally checking off “moose” from the big game list in Alaska (after going back for round 2 and unfinished business, as to make sure his was bigger than brother Mike’s). He also loved rebuilding his favorite snowmobile; a Ski-Doo 797 Blizzard that childhood neigh-bor, Greg Spaulding of Bemidji, MN used to race. His dedi-cated passion to snowmobiles and winter sports started early at age 10, when he started his first paying job work-ing with Buster Spaulding assembling snowmobiles for $10 each sled. Through his business and community leader-ship he developed lasting and genuine relationships with people from all walks of life. Bob had a positive impact on so many lives and leaves behind his larger than life legacy. His legacy will be carried on in those who cared about him and in the values he instilled in the people that make up UPI. Bob is survived by the most important person in his

life, his loving wife of 23 years, Terri Breitzmann; his son, Erik (Hannah Schoechert) Schoneberger; two brothers, Joe (Judy) and Mike (Kim); and numerous nephews and great-nephews. Bob is preceded in death by father Joe Schone-berger, and mother Betty Schoneberger. Should friends de-sire, the Schoneberger Family has established a memorial scholarship for the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Minnesota Duluth in Bob’s honor and memorials can be sent to: UMD Development Association, FBO: Bob Schoneberger Memorial Scholarship, 104 Dar-land, 1049 University Drive, Duluth, MN 55812.

OBITUARIES

Bob schoneberger — An inspiration to the UPI family, the many communities he touched, and the legacy he leaves behind.

Bob Schoneberger, co-founder and CEO of United Piping, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, November 11 as the result of a heart attack.

What Bob meant to us can’t easily be put into words.

Everything he did, from creating and growing UPI to his advocacy for the energy industry to his support and commitment to improving our local communities was second to none. He was an amazing leader, colleague, friend, and role model for so many. He cared deeply about the people he worked with. Bob always challenged us to do our best and push the boundaries of what’s possible. Though greatly missed, he will continue to inspire us.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as we celebrate and recognize someone who truly made an impact on so many lives.

Rest in peace, Bob.






Rest in peace, Bob.






Rest in peace, Bob.
