Pump Stations
• 3 pump stations used to move NGLs
– Two in Wyoming - for startup
– One in Kansas - for maximum capacity
• This project is more efficient because gravity
helps move the product (meaning fewer pump
stations required)
Green River
There are two NGL Hubs in the U.S.
where mixed NGL Products are
fractionated, or separated into
individual components
• Mont Belvieu, Texas
