August 6, 2018 [Tank Storage Magazine] - Magellan Midstream Partners will expand the western leg of its refined petroleum products pipeline system in Texas.
The expansion will be accomplished by a combination of increased pipeline diameter along the existing route and construction of 140 miles of new pipe from Hearne to Alexander, Texas. Connectivity to the ExxonMobil Pipeline Company’s terminal in Wink, Texas will also be added as part of the expansion.
It is expected to be available by mid-2020. The company says that construction of new refined products terminals in both Midland and the Delaware Basin remain under review.
Michael Mears, CEO, says: ‘Magellan’s expansion of our refined products pipeline system into West Texas provides our customers with continued flexibility to meet growing demand for petrol and diesel fuel in the region with supply from our Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent origins.
‘Further, construction of the new pipeline segment between Hearne and Alexander has the strategic advantage of providing additional capacity along our extensive pipeline network to satisfy strong demand for refined products destined for the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.‘
