MPLX Expands Permian NGL, Natural Gas Takeaway with Gulf Coast Projects
(P&GJ) — MPLX LP is continuing its growth strategy focused on natural gas liquids (NGL) and the Gulf Coast region, reporting a significant uptick in its Natural Gas and NGL Services segment for Q4 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA for this segment increased by $79 million, driven by higher volumes and the integration of new assets in the Permian and Utica basins.
MPLX’s expansion strategy includes the development of new infrastructure to support growing natural gas takeaway capacity. A notable project is the Gulf Coast fractionation complex, which will feature two 150,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) facilities, expected to come online by 2028 and 2029. In addition, MPLX is collaborating with ONEOK to build a 400,000 bbl/d LPG export terminal and pipeline, slated for 2028.
The BANGL NGL pipeline, which will expand capacity from 250,000 bbl/d to 300,000 bbl/d, is set for completion in 2026. This expansion is designed to support increased production and deliver more liquids to MPLX's Gulf Coast fractionation facilities.
Ongoing pipeline projects like the Blackcomb and Rio Bravo pipelines will enhance natural gas transportation from the Permian Basin to the Gulf Coast, with an expected in-service date in 2026. These pipelines are critical to meeting growing producer demand and expanding export capabilities.
MPLX is also investing in new gas processing facilities, including the Secretariat processing plant in the Permian, which is expected to bring 1.4 billion cubic feet per day of processing capacity by late 2025.
