Enterprise Products Partners and Plains All American Pipeline today announced they would double the mainline capacity of their Eagle Ford Joint Venture Pipeline from Three Rivers, Texas, to Corpus Christi, Texas, and build a new condensate gathering system.
Enterprise and Plains will build an additional 70-mile pipeline from Three Rivers to Corpus Christi and expand storage and pumping capacity at their Three Rivers terminal. The project effectively loops the Eagle Ford JV pipeline from Gardendale, Texas, to Corpus Christi and increases capacity to over 600,000 barrels per day. The Eagle Ford JV pipeline will also be connected to a pipeline Plains is building from the Permian Basin to Gardendale.
The new condensate gathering system will connect production areas in Karnes and Live Oak counties to the Three Rivers terminal.
Plains and Enterprise are also planning a new terminal on the Corpus Christi ship channel with a dock that will be accessible to ocean-going vessels. The dock will be in service in 2017.
The Eagle Ford JV pipeline expansion and the condensate gathering system are expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2015.
