Background

Centurion pipeline system is operated by Centurion Pipeline LP, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lotus Midstream LLC. Lotus Midstream acquired the original parent company, Occidental Petroleum, in 2018.

Centurion Pipeline LP is an oil fixed-fee per barrel tariff common carrier pipeline operator. The Centurion pipeline system consists of approximately 3,000 miles of pipeline, spanning southeast New Mexico across the Permian Basin of southwest Texas to Cushing, Oklahoma.

Spills

In October 2011, Centurion Pipeline shut down the pipeline for several days after a ditch digger hit the pipeline in Edmond, Oklahoma.

In December 2014, approximately 20 barrels were unintentionally spilled when corrosion failure produced a leak.
