Construction is complete on the Panola Products Pipeline Co. 8-in. NGL line in E. Texas. The 60-mile pipeline, which traverses rolling timber country, lightly developed commercial areas, and low-lying wetlands, will ultimately gather liquids from gas plants in E. Texas. Initially, this system is designed to transport natural gas liquids mix from the Carthage Plant, operated by Champlin Petroleum Co., to Gulf Pipeline Co.'s injection station at Lufkin, Texas. Final delivery will be made to various petrochemical facilities in the Mont Belvieu, Texas area. To minimize right-of-way problems, the line was routed parallel to an existing United Gas 22-in. pipeline for a distance of 36 miles from Carthage to near Nacogdoches. The pipeline has a design pressure of 1,480 psi. A back pressure of approx. 450 psi will be maintained on the line at all times to keep the mix in a liquid state. The predominant pipe used along the route is API 5LX-52 with a wall thickness of 0.219-in. Heavier wall thickness pipe, up to 0.375-in., is used for road, railroad, and major water crossings.
