Oneok Partners to build pipeline from Oklahoma to Texas

Oneok Partners said it will build a $ 260 mm natural gas liquids pipeline from southern Oklahoma through the Barnett Shale natural gas play in northern Texas and continuing on to the Texas Gulf Coast.
The Tulsa, Oklahoma, natural gas company said the proposed pipeline will originate in Stephens County, Oklahoma, and be designed to initially transport 160,000 bpd of raw natural gas liquids for delivery into the Mont Belvieu, Texas, market centre.

Oneok expects construction of the 12- and 16-inch pipeline to be complete by early 2009.
