“The expansion of the Pegasus Pipeline is another example of how ExxonMobil Pipeline Company is continuing to develop new projects that provide valued services and enhance supply security,” said Gary Pruessing, president, ExxonMobil Pipeline.

“This expansion project builds upon the success of the Pegasus Pipeline system reversal that began moving Canadian crude shipments to the Gulf Coast in 2006.”
