MPLX launches binding open season for THPP

MPLX LP subsidiary Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Co. LLC (THPP) has launched a binding open season to assess shipper interest in obtaining firm service on new expansion capacity on the Connolly Gathering System portion of THPP's pipeline system in Dunn County, ND, primarily southwest of Dunn Center (Connolly Gathering System).

The Connolly Gathering System currently gathers crude oil from various points for delivery to a central delivery point at THPP's existing Connolly Station. The proposed expansion capacity would provide similar gathering services from additional origin points. 

Interested shippers will also have an opportunity to make commitments during the open season for firm service on a tranche of expansion capacity on the Connolly Gathering System that THPP previously made available for commitment during an open season in 2014. The total proposed capacity available for commitment will depend on shipper commitments but is estimated to be 70,000-100,000 b/d; the capacity of individual laterals will depend on shipper interest.

The binding open season ends Dec. 15, 2021.
