The Wrangler Pipeline will originate at the existing Enbridge Cushing Terminal and extend southward, closely following existing pipeline corridors, to Enterprise's ECHO crude oil storage terminal in southeast Harris County, Texas, providing access to refineries in Texas City, Pasadena/Deer Park, Baytown and along the Houston Ship Channel.
The pipeline will have an initial transport capacity of up to 800,000 bbl/d of crude oil. In anticipation of future increases in crude oil volumes delivered to the Cushing area, the joint venture partners will design the pipeline to be easily expanded. New storage tankage necessary for pipeline operations will be located at the ECHO site and included in the joint venture. The project will also include a new 137 km pipeline to the Beaumont/Port Arthur refining center.
Enterprise and Enbridge will hold an open season for capacity on the new pipeline from 3 October 2011 to 2 November 2011. Enbridge will also hold a concurrent binding open season offering capacity from Flanagan, Illinois, to the Texas Gulf Coast utilising a portion of capacity available on the Wrangler Pipeline.
Subject to the required regulatory approvals and sufficient long-term commitments from interested shippers, the pipeline is expected to be in service by mid-2013. Construction of the project is expected to be managed by Enbridge with Enterprise serving as operator.
