Background

The Chaparral NGL System was initially an 800-mile pipeline owned by Diamond-Koch II LP. It was purchased along with the Quanah NGL Pipeline in 2002 by TEPPCO. By 2008, the pipeline was 845 miles long and was being further expanded. TEPPCO was a subsidiary of Enterprise GP Holdings, which was merged into Enterprise Products Partners in 2010.

Expansion projects

Texas Western Pipeline System

Enterprise converted some capacity on its Mid-America Pipeline (MAPL) NGL system to carry refined products from the Texas Gulf Coast into the mid-continent and into the Rockies, as part of its new Texas Western Pipeline System. The new project converted the MAPL Rockies line between Hobbs and Utah to move batch shipments of premium gasoline, regular grade gasoline, and diesel northward to the west Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah markets. The plan also included reversing the flow of the Chaparral NGL pipeline.
