Plains All-American Pipeline LP (PAA) is expanding the capacity of its Cactus pipeline from McCamey to Gardendale, Texas, to approximately 390,000 b/d. The expansion will move increasing production volumes from the Permian Basin to Corpus Christi as well as other delivery points along the system. The expansion includes manifold and metering enhancements at the origination station, which are anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of 2017.
The Cactus pipeline is a 310-mile, 20-inch crude oil pipeline and is capable of transporting crude oil from the Permian Basin to the PAA/Enterprise Products Partners Eagle Ford Joint Venture (JV) Pipeline. The Eagle Ford JV Pipeline has a capacity of 660,000 barrels per day. Crude oil delivered on Cactus has access to the Eagle Ford JV barge dock facility in the Corpus Christi area, as well as dock capacity at third-party facilities in Corpus Christi and Ingleside via connections with the Eagle Ford JV pipeline.
