Background
The pipeline will help the company triple Permian output by 2025.[1] It is intended to deliver Permian crude from southern New Mexico to newly-built storage tanks built at the expanding Wink Terminal, which is becoming a local crude oil transportation hub.[4]
A permit was issued and construction began in 2018, according to the Railroad Commission of Texas.[3][5]
In September of 2019, ExxonMobil Corp. launched a binding open season for the pipeline.[6] In their 2020 Annual Report, ExxonMobil stated that in 2020 they "started operations at a central processing and export facility in the Delaware Basin." We take this to mean the pipeline became operational in 2020.
