The owners of the Capline pipeline system intend to conduct a binding open season in January 2019 for a reversed Capline system, which would transport crude oil from origination points near Patoka, Illinois, and Collierville, Tennessee, to the US Gulf Coast. The owners – including Plains Pipeline, L.P., BP Oil Pipeline Company, and Marathon Petroleum Corporation – previously conducted a non-binding open season for a reversed Capline system in the 4Q17, which generated shipper interest.
Phase I reversal engineering studies have been completed. Subject to the results of the binding open season and regulatory approvals, crude oil service is expected to commence in the 3Q20.
