TULSA, Okla., Aug. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ONEOK, Inc.
(NYSE: OKE) today announced that its Mont
Belvieu, Texas, complex is operational and has not
experienced significant damage from the impact of Hurricane Harvey.
All ONEOK employees located in the Gulf Coast area are safe and
accounted for.
Some ONEOK assets in the area are operating at reduced volumes
primarily due to temporary refinery and petrochemical facility
outages and restraints on its customers' ability to receive natural
gas liquids (NGL) products. Currently, upstream volumes from
ONEOK's producer customers have not been significantly impacted.
With the help of other companies in the industry, ONEOK is working
to best serve the needs of customers as NGL markets recover and
return to pre-hurricane levels. As volumes and customer operations
recover, ONEOK is prepared to resume normal operations at all
Mont Belvieu area facilities.
"Our hearts and thoughts go out to everyone impacted by the
devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey," said Terry K. Spencer, ONEOK president and chief
executive officer. "Many ONEOK employees live and work in the areas
impacted and have experienced the devastation firsthand. I'd like
to thank our employees for their remarkable efforts during this
difficult time and for their many hours working to keep our assets
operating safely. As we work together to resume normal operations,
our focus remains on the safety of our employees and their
families, the safe operation of our assets and our commitment to
continue operating reliably for our customers."
