Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking more than $2.7 billion in projects that are planned to kick off construction in Harris County, Texas, during the second half of this year. The plans cover a gamut of crude oil pipelines, chemical plants and warehouse projects, among others.

By industry, oil and gas pipelines take top billing in planned kickoffs, with projects totaling $870 million, dominated by the Texas section of Magellan Midstream Partners' (NYSE:MMP) (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Voyager crude oil pipeline. The pipeline would transport oil from Cushing, Oklahoma, and Midland, Texas, to refineries and terminals in Houston, Texas. The project would include construction of 20-inch-diameter pipelines from both Magellan's Cushing and Midland terminals to its terminal in Frost, Texas. From Frost, a 24-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed to Magellan's terminal in East Houston. The pipeline would have an initial capacity of up to 400,000 barrels per day (BBL/d), with the start of operations planned for early 2021.
Magellan and pipeline operator Navigator Energy (Dallas, Texas) have extended the project's open season for shipper commitments to August 30. "The level of shipper interest in the Midland origin, announced in March, combined with shipper requests for additional grades of crude oil and condensate at Cushing, requires further evaluation of the scope of the Voyager Pipeline project," Magellan said in a May 31 press release. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Texas and Oklahoma segments.
Planned chemical processing projects with second-half 2019 kickoffs in Harris County amount to $770 million. In Pasadena, Texas, Next Wave Energy Partners (Houston, Texas) plans to start construction on a grassroot olefins and on-purpose alkylates plant, with the final alkylates products to be sold on the gasoline blending market for domestic and foreign consumption. Completion of the plant is planned for mid-2021. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
One of the larger planned maintenance-related kickoffs involves the turnaround of two polypropylene units at LyondellBasell Industries NV's (NYSE:LYB) (Houston) Bayport Polyolefins Plant in Pasadena. Lauren Engineers & Constructors will perform the pipefitting and structural welding for the units, which have an installed capacity of more than 400,000 tons per year. The turnaround is planned to kick off in September, with completion in October. In May, Port Houston Executive Director Roger Guenther said a big driver of a 9% increase in tonnage through the port has been resin exports, including an "astounding" 62% jump in polyethylene exports. For more information on the Bayport Polyolefins units C and D maintenance turnaround, see Industrial Info's project report.
More than $300 million in petroleum refinery-related projects are planned for kickoff, including a 60,000-BBL/d light crude expansion project at Exxon Mobil Corporation's (NYSE:XOM) (Irving, Texas) 584,000-BBL/d Baytown, Texas, refinery. The expansion would involve upgrades to existing crude units. Kickoff is planned for the third quarter this year, with completion in late 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In La Porte, Texas, Liberty Property Trust (NYSE:LPT) (Malvern, Pennsylvania) plans to start construction on a $60 million grassroot speculative industrial building campus. Ten warehouse buildings would have a combined 2.1 million square feet of space. E.E. Reed Construction L.P. (Houston) is the general contractor for the project, which is planned for completion in first-quarter 2022. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
