Mars Crude Oil Pipeline is an 18- to 24-inch, 163-mile pipeline originating approximately 130 miles offshore. It transports oil production from the Mississippi Canyon area in the north-central Gulf of Mexico, south of Louisiana, from the Olympus and Mars platforms and the Medusa and Ursa pipelines.[6] It has capacities up to 600,000 bpd. It delivers oil to the Fourchon and LOOP Clovelly Terminals in Louisiana.[1]
In August 2022, a Mars pipeline leak of approximately two barrels of oil caused a temporary shutdown of three Shell drilling platforms.[7]
