NuStar Energy L.P.

Recent Developments

 

Eagle Ford Open Season

 

NuStar Energy recently announced the launch of an open season to assess shipper interest in committed space to transport Eagle Ford Shale crude oil from several terminal locations on our South Texas Crude Oil Pipeline System to our Corpus Christi North Beach facility.  The proposed project would include pipeline capacity upgrades to segments of the South Texas Crude Oil Pipeline System and would be constructed in two phases, for a total aggregate incremental capacity of 100,000 barrels per day, of which 90,000 barrels per day will be available to committed shippers.  The first phase of approximately 35,000 barrels per day is expected to be available for service to committed shippers in the third quarter of 2014, while the second phase of approximately 65,000 barrels per day is expected to be available during the first quarter of 2015.

 

Internal Growth Project Update

 

NuStar Energy continues to work on a pipeline project for ConocoPhillips and to lay crude oil gathering lines that will supply additional crude oil volumes to our Eagle Ford crude oil pipeline system.  In addition, we are continuing the construction of a second rail-car offloading facility at our St. James terminal. These projects are expected to be completed and contributing to pipeline and storage segment results by the end of 2013.
