Five petroleum product pipelines were completed in the U.S. in 2024

In 2024, pipeline companies completed five pipeline projects to transport petroleum liquids in the U.S. The five projects consisted of three hydrocarbon gas liquid (HGL) pipelines and two petroleum product pipelines.

The completed projects are:

• Texas Western Products system
  Enterprise Products Partners’ Texas Western Products system is a conversion and reversal of a 60,000-barrel-per-day (b/d) pipeline that transports refined products (gasoline and diesel) from the Texas Gulf Coast to markets in the Mid-continent and Rocky Mountain regions. The system serves four key destinations: Gaines County, Texas; Jal, New Mexico; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Grand County, Utah. It was completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
• Houston to El Paso refined petroleum products pipeline
  ONEOK’s Houston to El Paso refined petroleum products pipeline system is a 30,000-b/d expansion along its existing route between Odessa and Crane, Texas. The new 30-mile, 16-inch pipeline increases the total capacity to approximately 1,000,000 b/d from Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent refineries to El Paso. It was completed in the first quarter of 2024.
• Daytona NGL Pipeline
  Targa Resource’s Daytona NGL pipeline is a 400,000-b/d pipeline that transports Y-grade natural gas liquids (NGLs) from the Permian Basin to North Texas, where it connects with Targa’s Grand Prix NGL Pipeline. From there, NGLs move to Targa’s fractionation and storage complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The pipeline is approximately 400 miles in length with a 30-inch diameter and was completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
• Seminole Red Pipeline
  Enterprise Products Partners’ Seminole Red Pipeline is a conversion of a 280,000-b/d crude oil pipeline back to an HGL pipeline while the company builds the Bahia Pipeline, another HGL pipeline project that will also service the Permian Basin. The pipeline transports Y-grade NGLs approximately 440 miles from the Permian Basin in West Texas to Enterprise’s fractionation and storage facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The Seminole Red Pipeline was originally an HGL pipeline before it was converted to a crude oil pipeline in 2019. The conversion back to HGL service was completed in the first quarter of 2024.
• West Texas NGL Loop
  The West Texas NGL Loop developed by ONEOK is a 40,000-b/d expansion that increased the total pipeline capacity to 515,000 b/d. The looping expansion involved installing additional pipeline segments in parallel to the existing line, which extends along the West Texas NGL Pipeline route from the Permian Basin to multiple fractionation and storage facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The company completed the project in the fourth quarter of 2024 and plans to add pump stations by mid-2025 to further expand capacity to 740,000 b/d.

In addition to these completed projects, the U.S. EIA estimates there are nine announced pipeline projects and eight projects under construction in the U.S., with an estimated 17 projects that have been permanently canceled since 2020.
