Plains All American Pipeline announced that it is constructing a 95-mile extension to its existing Oklahoma crude oil pipeline system to service increasing production from the Granite Wash, Hogshooter and Cleveland Sands producing areas in western Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle.
The new Western Oklahoma pipeline will provide up to 75,000 barrels per day of new takeaway capacity from Reydon, Okla. in Roger Mills County to PAA’s existing Orion station in Major County, Okla. At the Orion station, crude oil will flow on PAA’s existing pipeline system to the PAA terminal in Cushing, Okla. The new Western Oklahoma pipeline is supported by long-term producer commitments and is expected to be in service by the end of the first quarter of 2014.
