The pipeline will originate approximately 280 miles south of New Orleans, Louisiana, in 7,000ft of water and terminate at GC19.
From GC19, Jack/St Malo owners will have a variety of pipeline options for moving crude oil to major trading hubs and refineries in the Gulf Coast region.
Once installed, this new pipeline is expected to serve as a safe and reliable oil export solution for the Chevron operated Jack/St Malo hub production facility.
As previously announced by Chevron Pipe Line, the hub facility is expected to have an initial production capacity of 170,000 barrels of oil per day, and startup of the facility is anticipated in 2014.
Chevron Pipe Line will construct and operate this pipeline for Amberjack.
