As part of the JV, Enterprise will assign 45% ownership interest in its Panola Pipeline Co. LLC. The interest will be evenly divided among Anadarko’s affiliate, WGR Asset Holding Co. LLC (WGR), DCP Midstream Partners and MarkWest.

Following a successful open season, Enterprise recently announced plans to install 60 miles of new pipeline, as well as pumps and other associated equipment as part of an expansion project designed to increase capacity by 50,000 barrels per day. The incremental capacity is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2016.
