Double Eagle Pipeline LLC, a 50/50 joint venture between Magellan Midstream Partners and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP, commenced initial operations of the 85-mile western leg of its pipeline system moving condensate from La Salle County, Texas, to Three Rivers, Texas.

The Double Eagle Pipeline system, operated by Kinder Morgan, includes 140 miles of new 12-inch pipeline connecting to an existing 50-mile, 14- and 16-inch pipeline segment owned by Kinder Morgan extending from Three Rivers to Magellan’s marine and storage terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas. The initial capacity of the pipeline is 100,000 barrels (bbl.) per day, but can be expanded to 150,000 bbl. per day with additional pumps.
