MPLX LP will extend the binding open season for its 11,000-b/d expansion of the SLC Core Pipeline system by 2 weeks to Nov. 6, 2020. The proposed expansion would provide shippers access to the Guernsey crude oil market hub and refiners in the Salt Lake City area access to additional crude oil grades.

The expansion would reinstate origin service from Fort Laramie, Wyo., and bring total capacity on the SLC Core Pipeline to 56,000 b/d by first-quarter 2022.

The SLC Core Pipeline system, owned by Tesoro Logistics Northwest Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of MPLX, is a common carrier system transporting crude oil from various points in Wyoming to Wahsatch Station, Utah, with a connection to a third-party pipeline at Wahsatch Station for further transportation to refineries in the Salt Lake City area.

The binding open season began Sept. 21, 2020.
