The facility is capable of handling more than 150,000 bbl of crude oil condensate and natural gas liquids, and is expected to primarily serve E&P companies operating in southeast Ohio and northwest West Virginia. The facility will load light condensates, stabilized condensate, raw natural gas liquids (NGL) and purity NGL products, and includes warehouse space, a lay-down area and its location provides access to highways and the Ohio River.
