Sunoco Logistics Thursday announced they will go ahead with a second pipeline-- the Mariner East 2-- to carry natural gas liquids from southwestern Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia to the Marcus Hook Refinery near Philadelphia.

The $2.5 billion pipeline has a proposed capacity of 275,000 barrels per day.

Sunoco is in the process of re-purposing the Mariner East 1 pipeline to carry propane from Delmont in Westmoreland County to Marcus Hook.  Mariner East 1, Sunoco said, should be shipping propane by the end of this year.
