Navigator Energy Services LLC will expand the transportation capacity of its Big Spring Gateway Pipeline system (BSG system) from 85,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) of crude oil to 140,000 bbl/d. The BSG system will serve producers and other shippers in the Permian Basin. Navigator began construction and expects the system to enter service during the second half of 2015. The expanded system will serve new origin points in western Midland County, southern Glasscock County and western Martin County, Texas, as well as those already planned in Glasscock, Martin and Howard counties.
Navigator will also launch a supplemental binding open season for additional transportation commitments on the system. The binding open season will begin at 12 p.m. Central time on Feb. 2.
Once the expansion is completed, the BSG system will span Martin, Howard, Glasscock and Midland counties, Texas, and include more than 250 miles of gathering pipeline, 200 miles of transportation mainline, seven truck injection stations and 225,000 barrels of planned storage capacity. Under its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission tariff, the system will offer delivery into the BridgeTex Pipeline and Sunoco-operated pipelines near Colorado City, Texas, offering West Texas producers a direct path to about 900,000 bbl/d of takeaway capacity to Texas Gulf Coast and Midcontinent market centers.
