Medallion Pipeline Co. LLC announced a binding open season to solicit long-term commitments from shippers for capacity on a new crude oil pipeline (the Wolfcamp Connector) originating at Garden City Station near Garden City in Glasscock County, Texas and extending approximately 60 miles north to the Colorado City hub in Scurry County, Texas.

The Wolfcamp Connector will provide an outlet for shippers seeking transportation services for crude oil production in Glasscock, Howard, Irion, Reagan, and Sterling counties. As proposed, the Wolfcamp Connector will be capable of receiving and transporting up to 65,000 barrels (bbl.) per day for delivery to takeaway pipelines at the Colorado City hub, including the proposed BridgeTex Pipeline. At least one anchor shipper has committed to long-term capacity on the proposed project, subject to the acceptance of its bid for capacity in the binding open season.

In addition, based on discussions with certain other potential anchor shippers, Medallion is considering a southward extension of the Wolfcamp Connector from the Garden City Station, approximately 40 miles into southern Reagan County (the Reagan County Extension), depending upon the level of binding commitments received during the open aeason. As proposed, the Reagan County Extension will be capable of receiving and transporting up to 40,000 bbl. per day to the Garden City Station interconnection with the Wolfcamp Connector for delivery to the Colorado City hub.
Medallion is conducting the binding open season to obtain long-term volume commitments for the Wolfcamp Connector and the Reagan County Extension.

The open season began on October 29 and ends on November 27. The Wolfcamp Connector is expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2014, while the Reagan County Extension is expected to be in service in the fourth quarter of 2014.
