and more refiners were planning to build them

Would you show me a link for a planned expansion at any refinery to process natural gas liquids? This is nearly always done at a gas processing plant, or a natural gas liquids plant like the one I do work at in Mont Belvieu.

Imagine there’s no export ban – no need to split the condensate
Oil & Gas Financial Journal
May 27, 2014
Sandy Fielden, RBN Energy
Our analysis shows that 8 companies have announced plans to build condensate splitters in addition to the already operating 75 Mb/d Total/BASF unit at Port Arthur, TX. Some of these plans are further along than others – notably the Kinder Morgan 100 Mb/d splitter being built in the Houston Ship Channel – delayed earlier this year – but still due online in November 2014 with the first 50 Mb/d of production fully contracted to BP. Similarly on their way to completion are splitters (topping units) announced by Marathon at their OH and KY refineries. Magellan, Castleton and Martin Midstream have announced plans for three splitters at Corpus Christi on the Gulf Coast south of the Eagle Ford.
