Takeaway Capacity
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA)
today announced that it has received sufficient binding commitments on
its initial open season (which closed today) and that it is proceeding
with construction of a new pipeline system from the Permian Basin to the
Corpus Christi/Ingleside area (the “Cactus II Pipeline”). Permitting,
right-of-way and procurement activities are underway, and subject to
receipt of necessary permits and regulatory approvals, the Cactus II
Pipeline is targeted to be operational in the third quarter of 2019.
The Cactus II Pipeline includes a combination of existing pipelines and
two new pipelines. The first new pipeline will extend from Wink South to
McCamey, TX, and the second pipeline will extend from McCamey to the
Corpus Christi/Ingleside area.
PAA has also received sufficient customer interest to conduct a second
binding open season related to Cactus II Pipeline. Origin points will be
Orla, Wink South, Midland, Crane and McCamey, TX. This open season
provides an opportunity for additional shippers to enter into
transportation services agreements that provide for long-term crude oil
transportation on Cactus II Pipeline. Based on market demand, this
second open season will include additional committed tariff rate
structures, but is otherwise consistent with the terms of the first open
season.
Additional information is contained in a Notice of Open Season that is
posted on our website at https://www.plainsallamerican.com/customer-center/pipeline-tariffs/open-seasons.
Interested parties should contact Kevin Snodgrass at 713-646-4616. As
described in the Notice of Open Season, interested entities must sign a
confidentiality agreement before receiving the open season documents.
The second open season begins on January 22, 2018 at 5 p.m. CT and will
end at 5 p.m. CT on February 21, 2018.
