Industrial Info Tracks More Than $3 Billion in North American Refined Products Pipeline Projects

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--While most focus on North American Pipelines is in getting oil and natural gas to various markets, just as important is moving refined petroleum products. Industrial Info is tracking more than $3.1 billion in North American pipeline projects to move refined products.

Magellan Midstream Partners LP (NYSE:MMP) (Tulsa, Oklahoma) recently announced plans to expand a refined products pipeline system in West Texas. The pipeline will ship gasoline and diesel to markets in Abilene, Midland/Odessa, and El Paso in Texas, as well as New Mexico. The company will add about 50,000 barrels per day (BBL/d) of capacity, bringing total capacity to 150,000 BBL/d, by changing the size of the pipeline along Magellan's existing route. The pipeline can also tie into markets in Arizona and Mexico via third-party connections. The expansion has an estimated total investment value (TIV) of $300 million. Construction is set to begin before the end of the year, and completion is planned for mid-2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the pipeline and pump station.

Magellan also is underway with a grassroot refined products pipeline from Houston to Hearne in Texas. The 135-mile pipeline will move more than 85,000 BBL/d of refined products from Houston area refineries to distribution networks in Hearne, which have access to other markets in Texas, the Mid-Continent region and Arkansas. Construction is planned to kick off this summer, taking about a year to complete. The project has an estimated TIV of $150 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

Buckeye Partners (NYSE:BPL) (Houston, Texas) is underway with reversing the flow of its 350-mile Laurel refined products pipeline to deliver products from Midwestern refiners east toward Philadelphia. Kelly General Construction Company (Decatur, Illinois) is acting as the contractor on the project, which has an estimated TIV of $250 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Ohio and Pennsylvania portions of the pipeline, as well as grassroot pump stations in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

One of the largest refined products pipeline projects is occurring south of the border. TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP) (Calgary, Alberta) is planning to construct a 165-mile pipeline running from the planned refined products marine terminal in Tuxpan to the planned terminal in Tula. Construction on the pipeline is planned to kick off this summer, taking about three years to complete. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report. Construction on the Tuxpan marine terminal kicked off earlier this year and is expected to be completed by the end of 2018. The terminal will have seven tanks and will be able to store 500,000 barrels of refined products. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report. Construction on the Tula terminal is following the same schedule. The terminal will be able to store 900,000 of refined products. Jacobs Engineering Group Incorporated (NYSE:JEC) (Dallas, Texas) is performing engineering, procurement and construction on both projects. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report on the Tula terminal. The pipeline and terminals projects have a combined TIV of $800 million.

In Canada, Trans-Northern Pipelines Limited (Calgary) plans to kick off Phase II of a refined products pipeline replacement program this summer. Approximately 185 miles of new pipeline will be laid adjacent to the existing pipeline, which will be abandoned in place. The pipeline will carry 48,400 BBL/d of refined products from Edmonton to Calgary in Alberta. Stantec Incorporated (NYSE:STN) (Edmonton) is engineer on the project, which has an estimated TIV of $280 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
