The Colonial refined products pipeline—originating in Houston and terminating in New York harbor—supplies 50% of the refined products consumed “The Explorer and Colonial systems have the capacity to deliver some 3 million b/d of refined products, providing energy to key demand centers of the US,” said Kevin Nichols, chief executive officer of Shell Midstream.
