据油气工程11月13日消息称，伊斯顿能源公司已签署一项协议，从埃克森美孚的全资子公司埃克森美孚管道公司购买南德克萨斯管道系统。
南德克萨斯管道系统包括大约720英里的管道，从管道系统北端的埃克森美孚的Clear Lake和Katy天然气厂延伸到管道系统南端的能源运输公司的King Ranch天然气厂和科珀斯克里斯蒂港，以及一些地面设施。此次收购预计将于2021年初完成。
该管道系统在德克萨斯州南部的石油和天然气勘探和生产中占有重要地位，多年来已被用于运输各种大宗商品，商品范围从原油到天然气液体不等。
管道系统连接了德克萨斯州南部不断增长的石化市场、伊斯顿在得克萨斯州万锦市的大型盐穹存储设施以及伊斯顿在休斯顿航道和蒙特贝尔维厄地区的配送管道。伊斯顿的互连系统将覆盖科珀斯克里斯蒂、休斯顿、蒙特贝尔维厄、德克萨斯州、查尔斯湖和路易斯安那州，所有这些都得到了Markham的5000万桶液态烃存储权的支持。伊斯顿期望为不断增长的石化客户群提供管道运输选择。
伊斯顿总裁兼首席执行官Joel McComas表示：“我们非常感谢能有机会与埃克森美孚进行合作。我对我们的管道产品组合的增加感到满意，这进一步允许伊斯顿提供安全有效的液态碳氢化合物运输。”

Easton Energy buys petrochemical pipeline system from ExxonMobil
Easton Energy has executed an agreement to purchase the South Texas Pipeline System from ExxonMobil Pipeline Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil.
The South Texas Pipeline System comprises approximately 720 miles of pipeline running from ExxonMobil’s Clear Lake and Katy Gas Plants at the northern end of the Pipeline System, to Energy Transfer’s King Ranch Gas Plant and the Port of Corpus Christi at the southern end of the Pipeline System, plus several surface facilities. The acquisition is expected to close early in 2021.
The Pipeline System holds a significant place in oil and gas exploration and production in south Texas, having been used over the years to transport a variety of commodities from crude oil to different natural gas liquids.
The Pipeline System connects growing petrochemical markets in South Texas, Easton’s large salt dome storage position at Markham, Texas, and Easton’s distribution pipelines in the Houston Ship Channel and Mont Belvieu areas. Easton’s interconnected system will range from Corpus Christi to Houston, Mont Belvieu, Texas City and Lake Charles, Louisiana, all supported by rights to 50 million bbl of liquid hydrocarbon storage at Markham. Easton anticipates offering pipeline transport optionality to a growing petrochemical customer base.
Easton President and CEO, Joel McComas stated: “We’re thankful for the opportunity to work with ExxonMobil on this transaction. I’m pleased with this addition to our pipeline portfolio which further allows Easton to provide safe and efficient transport of liquid hydrocarbons.”
