Saddlehorn Pipeline to expand and add new Ft. Laramie origin

Saddlehorn Pipeline Co. LLC has launched an open season to solicit long-term commitments for capacity on the Saddlehorn pipeline it plans to expand with additional capacity and a new Ft. Laramie, Wyo. origin.

The Magellan-operated pipeline, jointly owned by affiliates of Magellan Midstream Partners LP, Plains All American Pipeline LP, and Western Midstream Partners LP, is currently capable of transporting 190,000 b/d of crude oil and condensate from the DJ and Powder River basins to storage facilities in Cushing owned by Magellan and Plains (OGJ Online, Mar. 19, 2015).

The expansion will increase the pipeline’s capacity to 290,000 b/d. The new capacity is expected to be available in late 2020 following the addition of incremental pumping and storage capabilities. Saddlehorn will add the new Ft. Laramie origin by leasing capacity on third-party pipelines.

The open season runs until midday July 31.
