The company has completed drilling the first two of four new brine production wells at the Choctaw Hub in Louisiana, which supports brine supply service in the Baton Rouge area, it said in its first-quarter 2018 earnings call.
Additionally, Boardwalk began civil and engineering work on a project to provide gas-treating services and construction of the pump station that will expand the capacity of the Evangeline ethylene pipeline system. The projects will cost about $150 million to build overall.
The Evangeline system is an about 180-mile interstate pipeline capable of transporting about 2.6 billion lb/year of ethylene, according to Boardwalk.
Evangeline transports ethylene between Port Neches, Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where it interconnects with Boardwalk Louisiana Midstream's ethylene distribution system and storage facilities at the Choctaw Hub.
