LDH Energy Pipeline Completes Construction Of NGL Pipeline Connecting Hull To Mont Belvieu Hub

Houston, TX - LDH Energy Pipeline L.P. ("LDH Energy Pipeline") announced recently that it has completed construction of a natural gas liquids pipeline from Hull, Texas, to the Mont Belvieu natural gas liquids hub. The pipeline construction and commissioning were completed late last week with initial product deliveries beginning today. Joe Rothbauer, vice president of midstream operations for LDH Energy Pipeline, said: "The pipeline extension will provide incremental natural gas liquid capacity for Permian Basin, East Texas and Barnett Shale development. The 31-mile pipeline will provide direct access to the Mont Belvieu natural gas liquids hub and allows LDH Energy Pipeline to fully utilize the capacity of the entire pipeline system."

Construction of the Hull to Mont Belvieu extension began in late 2006. The 12-inch pipeline will have a capacity of more than 130,000 barrels per day. Bill Rippe, executive vice president of LDH Energy, said: "We are pleased to be able to add more capacity to handle the growing Texas natural gas liquids volume."
