Background

From an Enterprise press release:

Based on expected NGL production growth, along with the NGL production from the Rockies and San Juan Basin, the partial looping of the Shin Oak Pipeline would not have provided sufficient capacity and would have resulted in higher long-term energy and operating costs. Instead, Enterprise will build the Bahia NGL pipeline, a 550-mile pipeline with the capacity to transport up to 600,000 BPD of NGLs originating from the Delaware and Midland basins to Enterprise’s fractionation complex in Chambers County. The pipeline will consist of a 24-inch diameter segment from the Delaware Basin where it will connect to a 30-inch diameter segment from the Midland Basin to Chambers County. This pipeline, which is currently expected to be wholly owned by Enterprise, is projected to begin service in the first half of 2025.[1]

The Bahia Pipeline replaces the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline's partial looping capacity expansion.[2]
