The UEO system includes approximately 63 miles of natural gas and NGLgathering lines, a 200 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day of cryogenic processing near Kensington, Ohio, and a 45,000 barrels (bbl.) per day of NGL fractionation, storage and rail facility near Scio, Ohio.
With the completion of the second and third phases of the project, the UEO system will consist of 800 MMcf per day of cryogenic processing, 135,000 bbl. per day of NGL fractionation, 870,000 bbl. of NGL storage and a rail facility capable of loading 90 cars per day with full scalability to increase processing, fractionation and rail loading capacity to almost double the initial amount.

Access Midstream is responsible for the construction and operation of all pipeline facilities upstream of the UEO plants.
The second processing and fractionation units are scheduled to be completed in December.
