Medallion Pipeline Co. LLC, Irving, Tex., has begun a supplemental open season soliciting additional binding long-term commitments for expanded capacity of its existing crude oil pipeline system in the Midland basin after successfully closing the recent open season (OGJ Online, July 17, 2018).
Based on the capacity bids received, Medallion has received commitments sufficient to move forward with construction to expand six segments of its pipeline system to transport increased quantities of crude oil, produced from acreage proximate to Medallion’s system, to downstream pipelines and markets.
Commercial operations will begin in phases, with full commercial operations in fourth-quarter 2019.
The supplemental open season is subject to the same terms and conditions as originally proposed in the open season. It will close as Aug. 22.
Initially placed in service in October 2014, Medallion’s existing system is a network of 700 miles of 6-in. and larger crude oil line facilities that aggregate and transport crude oil to the Colorado City, Crane, and Midland hubs.
