Project details Operator: Owner: Seahawk Pipeline LLC[2] Parent company: Max Midstream[1] Capacity: 140,000 barrels per day[1] Length: 20 miles[1] Diameter: 12 inches[1] Status: Operating[1] Start year: 2021[1] Background In 2016, NorthStar Midstream announced that it had completed the acquisition of a 21-mile natural gas transmission pipeline originating in Point Comfort, TX and terminating near Edna, TX from Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. NorthStar intends to repurpose the 12-inch pipeline to transport up to 100,000 barrels per day of crude oil or natural gas liquids from the Eagle Ford Shale to its Seahawk marine terminal.[3]
There were no project developments between 2016 and early 2020, suggesting the project had been cancelled. However, in September 2020, Texas-based energy company Max Midstream announced the acquisition of the Seahawk Pipeline and Terminal from Oaktree Capital. The project will connect the Port of Calhoun directly to both Eagle Ford and Permian Basins to transport up to 20 million barrels a month for export.[4]
The project involved the conversion of an existing 12-inch, 21-mile pipeline from the transmission of natural gas to crude oil. It transports crude oil from the Edna Oil Terminal to the Seahawk Oil Terminal.
According to June 2021 data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the project began operations in the first quarter of 2021.[1]
Additional segments Blackhawk Pipeline The Blackhawk Pipeline will run parallel to existing 12-inch Seahawk pipeline. According to January 2022 data from the EIA, the project was expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2022.[1]
The pipeline was originally expected to be complete by the second quarter of 2021, but as of February 2022 it was delayed to the second quarter of 2022.
As of early 2024, the pipeline no longer appears on the EIA's list of liquid pipeline projects.[5]
