Background

The pipeline system carries crude oils from the San Joaquin Valley to Los Angeles basin refineries. The combined system is capable of moving an average of 235,000 barrels of oil per day. The system also includes gathering lines in the San Joaquin Valley and crude oil distribution lines in the Los Angeles basin.

Construction on the pipeline began in June 1997, and it was completed in 1999.
