MWE | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The joint venture between oil and gas master limited partnership

Capital Partners LLC, MarkWest Pioneer LLC, declared on Monday its
decision not to exercise its option for 10% acquisition of Midcontinent
Express Pipeline LLC's equity.

MarkWest's decision is the result of its prioritisation of available
capital for growth projects in its core operating areas.

pipeline infrastructure transporting natural gas from areas in Texas
and Oklahoma, as well as being an interconnect with its Arkoma
Connector Pipeline in Southeast Oklahoma, into the demand markets of
Eastern US.
