Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2016 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes situation: proven repeat counterparties asking for more than company can supply, and company enlarging in response. Let's parse transcript. Key topics: Freeport LPG export terminal, NGL fractionators, Sand Hills expansion, Beaumont terminal, etc. Management discusses demand from producers for NGL infrastructure. Greg: "we have an expansion announced at our Sand Hills line, from 285 to at least 350, maybe a little more than that. But high interest, I would say, from producers in moving their liquids to market. So we're interested in that. In our capital budget this year, towards the end of the year, we have laid in plans to FID Frac Two. We're in, I would say, very serious discussions on the volumes for that frac. And I think we're feeling pretty good about that at this point in time. So I think we see an increasing need for infrastructure around the NGL side of it. Our plan was always to not stop with Frac One in Sweeny, but do Frac Two and Frac Three at Sweeny. So I think we start laying in those plans as we see increased opportunities for infrastructure development around what we view is going be an increasing NGL environment." This is about producers wanting to move liquids. Are these proven repeat counterparties? They are producers who have already used Sand Hills? "high interest from producers in moving their liquids to market" - not necessarily already bought. They are interested. Also "very serious discussions on the volumes for that frac" - not yet committed. So not proven repeat counterparties asking for more than can supply. It's more like new demand from producers, interest, discussions. Not clear they are existing customers. Also company is planning FID, not yet underway? "we have laid in plans to FID Frac Two" - planned, not already in motion. So likely NO. Another possible: Freeport LPG export terminal. They shipped first commercial cargo mid-December, expect loading near capacity this month. They premised 8 cargoes/month, did 8 in January, same for Feb/March. Spot is 70% of premised. No mention of customers asking for more than can supply. They are operating at capacity? Not really.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
