NGL Energy Partners LP (NGL or the Partnership) has announced the completion of the Ambassador Pipeline in the state of Michigan, USA.
The Ambassador Pipeline System consists of a 225 mile bi-directional pipeline with multiple supply and delivery points. The Ambassador Pipeline connects central, northern, and western Michigan propane customers to millions of gallons of underground storage capacity in Eastern Michigan. NGL’s Wheeler Terminal is strategically located at the mid-point of the Pipeline and includes onsite storage of 480 000 gal. of propane. The Kalkaska terminal is located at the northern end of the pipeline and has total storage of 420 000 gal. Both Wheeler and Kalkaska each utilise two truck loading bays capable of flowing up to 600 gal./min., which allows propane transports to load in approximately 25 minutes.
“Our Ambassador Pipeline System establishes an integrated infrastructure of pipelines, supply points, storage facilities and terminals to deliver a diversified and dependable supply at several locations for Michigan propane customers,” commented Jeff Pinter, EVP of NGL’s Liquids Logistics segment. “At a time when Americans are focused on energy costs and reliability, NGL delivers an innovative infrastructure solution, creating an efficient, dependable, and cost-effective supply for the Wolverine State. In addition to the supply benefits to Michigan’s many propane customers, the Ambassador Pipeline will reduce truck traffic, road wear and tear, and a substantial reduction of CO2 emissions every year – benefitting residents throughout the State.”

When the tanks are full, the liquefied carbon dioxide will be loaded onto a dedicated carrier from Royal Wagenborg and shipped to the INEOS Nini platform in the Danish North Sea. From there, it will be safely injected via pipeline into subsurface reservoirs approximately 1800 m beneath the seabed for permanent storage.
