Enterprise Products Partners LP and Genesis Energy LP announced that their jointly owned crude oil gathering pipeline serving the Lucius production area in southern Keathley Canyon in the Gulf of Mexico is complete and began earning revenues on July 1. Constructed and owned by Southeast Keathley Canyon Pipeline Company LLC (SEKCO)—a 50/50 joint venture between Enterprise and Genesis—the 149-mile, 18-inch diameter pipeline connects the third party-owned Lucius-truss spar floating production platform to an existing junction platform at South Marsh Island 205, which is part of the Poseidon Pipeline system operated by Enterprise. Enterprise also operates the SEKCO pipeline, which has a capacity of 115,000 barrels per day.

A producer group, led by operator Anadarko Petroleum Corp. is developing the Lucius production area, which is estimated to have resources of more than 300 million barrels of oil equivalent. First production is expected during the second-half of 2014.
