The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has announced that four new petroleum liquids pipeline projects have been completed in the United States since 2023. This includes three crude oil pipelines and one hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGL) pipeline. The information comes from EIA’s updated Liquids Pipeline Projects Database. During this time, no new petroleum product pipeline projects, which transport gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other refinery products, were finished.
The completed pipeline projects are as follows:
South Bend Pipeline: Developed by Bridger Pipeline, LLC, this pipeline has a capacity of 150,000 barrels per day (bpd). It transports crude oil approximately 137 miles from Johnsons Corner, North Dakota, to Baker, Montana. The project was completed in 2023.
Keystone Port Neches Link: This pipeline, developed by Port Neches Link, LLC—a joint venture between TC Energy and Motiva Enterprises—has a capacity of 630,000 bpd. It runs about five miles, starting at the Sunoco Logistics terminal in Nederland and ending at Motiva’s terminal in Port Neches, Texas. The pipeline features a 30-inch diameter section from Motiva and a 36-inch diameter section from TC Energy. It was completed in 2023.
Borger Express Pipeline: Developed by Navigator Energy Service, this pipeline has a capacity of 90,000 bpd. It transports crude oil around 195 miles from Major County, Oklahoma, to Hutchinson County, Texas. This project was also completed in 2023.
Seminole Red Pipeline: Enterprise Products Partners converted this pipeline back from crude oil service to an HGL pipeline while constructing the Bahia Pipeline, another HGL project that will serve the Permian Basin. Originally, Seminole Red was an HGL pipeline before being converted to a 210,000 bpd crude oil pipeline in 2019. The conversion back to HGL was completed in 2024.
