Targa Resources said its Mont Belvieu, Texas, Cedar Bayou fractionator and Galena Park, Texas, marine terminal were out of service because of Hurricane Harvey.
The Cedar Bayou fractionator was taken out of service yesterday because of flooding that disrupted the operation of the freshwater supply pumps. Targa anticipates operations should be able to resume quickly once the flooding recedes and the freshwater supply wells are restored.
Targa's marine terminal went out of service on 25 August because of the closure of the Houston Ship Channel to ship traffic. Terminal operations resuming is dependent on the Coast Guard reopening the Ship Channel and inspection of the pipeline between Mont Belvieu and Galena Park, Targa said.
Flooding of pumps at Mont Belvieu has also disrupted brine disposal operations. Targa is managing its NGLs receipts at lower volumes than normal.
"Targa will continue to work with its producer and chemical customers to attempt to best meet their needs during these outages. The outages may also impact upstream gathering and processing facilities as Targa may have to curtail operations at some of its natural gas processing plants until flood waters recede and conditions improve at Mont Belvieu. Any such curtailments are expected to be temporary subject to resuming normal operations at Mont Belvieu," the company said.
The company's south Texas and Louisiana Gulf coast assets are operations and undamaged.
