CUSHING, Okla.— New pipeline projects are expanding the size of an Oklahoma crude oil hub that is already one of the most important oil storage facilities in the world.
One new pipeline is in operation at the hub in Cushing, another is almost complete and a new project was announced earlier this month when Tulsa-based NGL Energy Partners revealed plans for the Grand Mesa Pipeline, a joint venture with Rimrock Midstream LLC, the Tulsa World reported Saturday.
Grand Mesa, which will be open to oil producer commitments starting next week, will be a 550-mile system from Colorado to Cushing. Once completed, the pipeline could move more than 130,000 barrels per day from production.

Enterprise Products Partners of Houston is seeking customer commitments for its proposed crude oil pipeline from the Williston Basin in North Dakota to the Cushing hub in Oklahoma.
Enterprise announced a binding open season Sept. 4 to determine shipper demand for capacity on the 1,200-mile pipeline, which would also serve the Powder River and Denver Julesburg basins, according to a company news release.
“We’re providing shippers market access to Cushing’s hub in Oklahoma, one of the most liquid hubs for crude oil and one of the most attractive markets for producers in the Bakken,” spokesman Rick Rainey said Thursday.
