This pipeline – in conjunction with the previously announced Medford to Cushing pipeline conversion – is designed to provide approximately 175,000 bbl/d of crude oil transportation capacity to the Cushing market and is expected to be completed in mid-2013.

The Mississippian Lime Pipeline will originate in Alfalfa County near Alva, Oklahoma, and terminate at Plain All American Pipeline’s (PAA’s) crude oil storage facility in Cushing, Oklahoma. The new pipeline will share approximately 129 km of right-of-way with PAA’s Medford to Cushing pipeline.

PAA plans to extend the pipeline from Alva northward into Kansas as demand warrants.
