Plains All American Pipeline LP and Enterprise Products Partners LP are expanding their Eagle Ford Joint Venture (JV) crude oil pipeline to 470,000 b/d of light and medium crude grades to accommodate additional volumes expected from Plains’ Cactus pipeline, which is under construction. The expansion is expected to cost $120 million and be in service in the second quarter of 2015. The Eagle Ford system, most of which is in service and expected to be completed by Sept. 30, serves the Three Rivers and Corpus Christi refineries and other markets via marine transport facilities at Corpus Christi. The Cactus Pipeline is being constructed by Plains from McCamey, TX, in the Permian Basin area to Gardendale (see Shale Daily, April 16). It will have an initial capacity of 200,000 b/d and is expected to be in service in the second quarter of 2015.
