The company said that the agreements with Harvest and Anadarko will serve the Eagle Ford play in South Texas.

Harvest Pipeline president Steve Jacobs said that this new 12-inch diameter pipeline provides expanded capacity and reach to the existing Arrowhead pipeline system for producers in the Eagle Ford area, specifically in LaSalle county.

"It will have an initial capacity of more than 50,000 barrels per day and ultimate capacity of 90,000 barrels per day. We continue to expand our system to meet the needs of producers and purchasers in the Eagle Ford," Jacobs said.

Recently, Flint Hills finalized an acquisition of a small craft pier and wharf next to its existing crude oil terminal in Ingleside, which is already receiving Eagle Ford production.

Flint Hills expects to begin outbound waterborne shipments of Eagle Ford production from the retrofitted assets by the middle of 2012.
