San Mateo launches binding open season for proposed expansion

San Mateo Black River Oil Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of San Mateo Midstream LLC, launched a binding open season to gauge shipper interest in committed crude oil interstate transportation service on the Stebbins expansion crude oil pipeline project.

The project is a proposed expansion of the existing San Mateo system further north in Eddy County, NM, consisting of about 19 miles of various diameter crude pipelines from certain points of origin in Eddy County to the existing San Mateo interconnect with Plains Pipeline LP in Eddy County.

Commercial operation of the expansion project is targeted for third-quarter 2020.

The final volume of capacity for both committed and uncommitted service on the expansion project will be determined by San Mateo in part based on the results of the open season, which ends Sept. 6.
