Mountaineer NGL Storage LLC began an open season for 1.6 million barrels (MMbbl) of initial NGL storage capacity on the Mountaineer NGL Storage Project on April 11, the company said April 12.
More than 25 Mbbl/d can be loaded in and loaded out at the facility in Monroe County, Ohio. The facility is near Clarington, Ohio.
