DENVER, Sept. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DCP Midstream, LP (NYSE:DCP) announced today that it has resumed normal operations and all of its employees and their families are safe and have been accounted for following Hurricane Harvey.
“Our thoughts extend to everyone who has family and friends in Texas and who have experienced losses from Hurricane Harvey. The safety of our employees and their families remain our primary concern. We are extremely proud of how our DCP employees have responded to this catastrophic event and our strong operational performance across the affected areas under these very difficult circumstances,” said Wouter van Kempen, chairman, president and CEO of DCP Midstream.
All DCP’s logistics facilities, including its Sand Hills, Southern Hills and other NGL pipelines connecting to the Gulf Coast were undamaged and have remained fully operational for the duration of the storm. Based on current assessments no significant damage has been identified on DCP’s Eagle Ford plants, however, final assessments of DCP’s Port Arthur plant is still underway.
“We were able to use our integrated gathering and processing systems in the Eagle Ford and Permian to move gas between plants and minimize impacts to our customers. More importantly, we were able to utilize our connectivity to multiple fractionators at Mont Belvieu to maximize NGL flows for our customers despite third party fractionation, storage and market constraints at Mont Belvieu and Sweeny,” said van Kempen.
All DCP’s 61 gas plants are operational with the exception of four plants, two in the Eagle Ford, one in the Permian, and one in Southeast Texas. The Permian and Eagle Ford plants will be restarted once third party outlets to Sweeny return to service. DCP’s Port Arthur plant in Southeast Texas is being evaluated for return to service as area flooding from Harvey recedes. DCP anticipates returning all remaining plants to service over the next week.
