CRUDE
The 730-mile EPIC crude petroleum pipeline runs across Texas from Orla in the Permian Basin to the Port of Corpus Christi with capacity up to 590,000 barrels per day. The project includes terminals in Orla, Pecos, Crane, Wink, Midland, Helena and Gardendale, with Port of Corpus Christi connectivity and export access.
Distinctive to the EPIC crude project relative to traditional mainline pipeline commercial formats, customers have been provided the opportunity to make commitments through volume or acreage dedications.
EPIC offers a differentiated value proposition to producers by providing a low-cost transportation option from the Permian Basin to Gulf Coast markets that includes no risk of deficiency through acreage commitments for Permian producers. It is also notable that there is a meaningful amount of capital and operating synergies between the Crude and Y-Grade projects as they will share ROW and site locations.”
Y-Grade
The 650-mile EPIC Y-Grade Pipeline runs from Southeast New Mexico to Corpus Christi. The pipeline will have throughput capacity of at least 375,000 barrels per day with multiple origin points in the Delaware and Midland Basins.
Destinations include interconnects near Orla, Benedum and Corpus Christi, Texas, where EPIC’s affiliate plans to build a fractionation complex to accommodate the pipeline’s volume. In addition to the fractionator, EPIC will be building purity pipeline systems, including an ethane system which in the first phase will span the upper Gulf Coast into the Markham area for the 1st phase.
The EPIC Y-Grade Pipeline runs side-by-side through Texas with the EPIC Crude Oil Pipeline for most of the route.
