What the source reports

Energy Information Administration, Liquids Pipeline Projects Database In the 2026 release of our Liquids Pipeline Projects Database, we tracked the completion of 8 liquid fuels pipeline projects since the start of 2025, and an additional 14 new projects have been announced.

Between January 2025 and June 2026, the following projects were completed:

Bahia Pipeline Enterprise’s 550-mile, 600,000 barrel per day (b/d) natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline originates in West Texas from the Delaware and Midland basins and connects to Enterprise’s fractionation complex in Chambers County in Texas.

Coastal Bend NGL Pipeline Expansion 1 (former EPIC Y-grade pipeline) EPIC expanded its Y-grade pipeline by 50,000 b/d for total pipeline capacity of 225,000 b/d.

The pipeline carries Y-grade from West Texas to Corpus Christi.

Hiland Express Project Kinder Morgan converted the Double H Pipeline system from crude oil to NGL.

MPLX—BANGL Expansion 1 The project expanded the total pipeline capacity to 250,000 b/d.

The pipeline carries Y-grade that connects the Delaware and Midland basins to a fractionator in Sweeny, Texas.

Santa Fe Pacific East Line Expansion 1 Kinder Morgan expanded the pipeline, which runs from El Paso, Texas, to Tucson, Arizona, to move additional volumes of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.

Santa Ynez Pipeline System (former California 901R & 903R restart) Sable Offshore Corporation (Pacific Pipeline Company) restarted the existing-but-idle 901 and 903 pipelines.

Seahawk pipeline—Thunderdome Lateral, Gray Oak Louise The company converted an existing 16-inch natural gas pipeline to a crude oil pipeline.

The pipeline goes from the Gray Oak Louise terminal to the Edna terminal, with ultimate deliveries to the Seahawk terminal, all in Texas.

Seminole Red Pipeline (Midland-to-Echo 2) Enterprise converted the Seminole Red back to an NGL pipeline (originally an NGL pipeline that was converted to a crude oil pipeline) while it built the Bahia pipeline.

The newly announced projects are: Bahia Pipeline Expansion

Coastal Bend NGL Pipeline Expansion 2

Enbridge Mainline Optimization Phase 1

Enbridge Mainline Optimization Phase 2

Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline East Line Expansion 2

Western Markets Pipeline Expansion Phase 1

Western Markets Pipeline Expansion Phase 2

Our Liquids Pipeline Projects Database compiles information on more than 280 future, ongoing, and past liquids pipeline projects in the United States.

These pipelines carry crude oil, hydrocarbon gas liquids, and petroleum products —which include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other refinery products.

This database includes projects that date back to 2010.

Our database contains project types, start dates, capacity, mileage, geographic information, and project status.

We track expanded, reversed, converted, and new pipeline projects.

Some projects are connected to each other, with some pipelines doubling as segments of other longer lines that may carry the same fuels to their final destination.

How to read this update

This BasisPilot brief preserves the source's reported facts and publication context. The original publisher is U.S. Energy Information Administration, and the linked source should remain the reference for the complete release, later corrections, tables, quotations, and any information that was not visible in the extracted page. The brief is organized around what was reported, when it was reported, and which details a reader can verify directly.

Timing and context

The source publication time is recorded separately from the time BasisPilot retrieved the page. That distinction matters because company announcements, economic releases, and regulatory notices can be updated after their first publication. A date, amount, percentage, named entity, or status statement in this brief is treated as a source fact only when it can be traced to the linked document.

What readers should verify

Readers should compare the headline with the original source, check the publication date, review the issuer or agency named in the document, and distinguish reported results from forward-looking statements. Where the source describes a transaction, financing, filing, policy action, or market status, the relevant official filing or notice may contain additional conditions.

How the details fit together

A source-linked brief should be read as a sequence rather than as a collection of isolated claims. First identify the publisher and the document type. Next confirm the date, entities, amounts, percentages, and status statements in the source. Only then consider what the event could mean for a sector or a planning assumption. This order keeps an observable fact separate from a later interpretation and makes the article easier to audit when the publisher issues a correction or follow-up notice.

What is not being inferred

The brief does not infer a stock-price reaction, a change in credit quality, or a future operating result from the announcement alone. A reported dividend, result, policy action, or filing can be material without being predictive. Readers should check the company filing, agency notice, exchange release, or other primary document identified by the publisher when a decision depends on a condition that is not fully reproduced here.

Scope of the document

Official notices often combine a narrow operative change with definitions, procedural dates, affected parties, and supporting authority. Those elements should not be collapsed into a single headline. Before applying the update to an investment or market view, identify whether the document is a proposal, final rule, request for comment, administrative notice, or correction; confirm the effective date separately from the publication date; and check whether the source limits the change to a particular entity, transaction type, reporting period, jurisdiction, or instrument.

A practical reading checklist

Record the source URL, actual publisher, publication timestamp, retrieval timestamp, and any reference period before using the information. Note which statements are historical, which are current status updates, and which are forward-looking language from the issuer or agency. Compare the source with related filings only after preserving the original wording and units. This process prevents a distribution platform from being mistaken for the issuer and reduces the chance that a headline is treated as a complete financial or regulatory record.

Recheck after publication

Company and regulatory pages can add exhibits, corrections, translations, or updated status notes after the first release. BasisPilot therefore keeps the primary link visible and records the source publication date separately from its own publication date. If the source changes materially, the article can be regenerated with a new retrieval timestamp and a new content hash while preserving the original source item identifier for deduplication.

Limits and responsible use

This is an educational news brief, not personalized investment, tax, legal, or trading advice. A reported event does not guarantee a price reaction or a future outcome. BasisPilot does not fill missing facts with estimates, and it does not treat the distribution platform as the actual publisher when the source identifies another issuer. Source-linked details should be rechecked before making a decision.
