Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA) is building a 95-mile extension of its existing Oklahoma crude oil pipeline system to service increasing production from the Granite Wash, Hogshooter, and Cleveland Sands producing areas in western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle.
The new Western Oklahoma pipeline will ship up to 75,000 b/d from Reydon, Okla. in Roger Mills County, to PAA’s Orion station in Major County, Okla. From the Orion station, crude oil will flow on PAA’s existing pipeline system to its terminal in Cushing, Okla.
Long-term producer commitments support the new pipeline, which PAA expects to enter service by the end of first-quarter 2014.
Earlier this year PAA announced a 55-mile extension of its Mississippian Lime pipeline, expected to enter service by yearend and also shipping through existing infrastructure to Cushing (OGJ Online, Feb. 8, 2013).
