Magellan Midstream expands Houston-Area Crude Oil Pipeline Distribution SystemRajasthan

4 November 2011: Magellan Midstream Partners is further expanding its crude oil pipeline distribution capabilities in the Houston area to deliver domestic crude oil and condensate transported via third-party pipeline systems from the Eagle Ford Shale production area directly to local refineries.

The project includes the construction of a 6-mile, 24-inch diameter crude oil pipeline between the pipeline interchanges of Genoa Junction and Speed Junction, which will connect to the 24-inch diameter crude oil pipeline along the Houston Ship Channel that was previously announced as part of the partnership's Houston-to-El Paso pipeline reversal project, allowing Magellan to further distribute product to the Houston-area refineries. This project is expected to be operational by the end of 2012.
