A non-binding open season for firm natural gas transportation is currently in process. It is anticipated that DCP will be a partner and shipper on the proposed pipeline. KMI will build and operate the pipeline. DCP is the largest natural gas liquids producer and natural gas processor in the US and operates approximately 1.3 billion ft3/d of processing capacity in the targeted Permian supply area. DCP also operates Sand Hills, a natural gas liquids pipeline extending from the Permian area to the premier Mont Belvieu market. Sand Hills pipeline is currently being expanded from 280 000 - 365 000 bpd.
