Enterprise holds open season for West Texas crude line expansion

Enterprise Products Partners LP is holding a binding open season for expansion capacity on its Enterprise Crude Pipeline LLC (ECPL) West Texas System, which transports oil from points in New Mexico to the company’s terminal in Midland, Tex.

The open season is seeking customer commitments for incremental capacity on the system from ECPL’s Lynch, Hobbs, and Red Hills stations in Lea County, New Mexico, to the Midland terminal. At Midland, shippers have access to storage and terminal services, as well as connectivity to transportation alternatives such as trucking and pipeline infrastructure to downstream markets including the Gulf Coast.

The open season continues until June 24. Service is expected to begin in this year’s third quarter.
