MarkWest will install ethane extraction facilities at its Houston complex to deliver ethane and make changes to its natural gas processing complexes.

MarkWest will also construct a 25 mile pipeline from the Houston complex to an interconnection with an existing Sunoco Logistics pipeline at Vanport, Pennsylvania.

The ethane will then be transported from Vanport to Sarnia through the existing Sunoco Logistics pipelines to be modified for ethane service.
