Background

Delta Oil Pipeline is in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil is gathered from the Odyssey Oil Pipeline, BUD, Pompano, Ram-Powell, SP60 pipeline, Southwest Pass, and MPOG pipeline. It is delivered to the Empire and Houma Terminals as well as Norco Refinery and Lake Charles Phillips 66 Refinery in Louisiana.

On Shell Midstream Partners' assets overview, they note: "Delta: an approximately 130-mile onshore pipeline aggregating volumes from five offshore pipelines including Shell Midstream Partners' Odyssey Pipeline and the Na Kika Pipeline. This acquisition connects offshore oil production in the eastern corridor of the Gulf of Mexico to key onshore markets."
