Expansion projects

Expansion

In May 2014 Koch Pipeline said it planned to expand its South Texas crude oil pipeline system with the installation of an additional 24 mile pipeline in San Patricio County. The new pipeline would have an expected initial capacity of approximately 200,000 bpd, planned for completion in 2014. It is presumed to be completed and operating as of the end of 2014.
