Background
In January 2018, Plains All American (PAA) Pipeline announced that it had sufficient commitments from shippers to begin building the pipeline.[8] In early July 2019, the Cactus II Oil Pipeline system began operations. Shippers on the Cactus II line include Concho Resources Inc, Anadarko Petroleum Corp, Trafigura, and others.[9]
In November 2022, it was announced that Plains and Enbridge had purchased Western Midstream Partners' 15% interest in the pipeline, acquiring 5% and 10%, respectively. Through this transaction, Plains and Enbridge became the sole owners of the pipeline, with Plains (70% interest) remaining the pipeline operator. [3][5]
