Background

The Eugene Island Pipeline System is a 183-mile network of crude oil pipelines, the main pipeline of which is 20 inches in diameter, with capacity to deliver approximately 200,000 barrels per day of crude from oil fields in the central Gulf of Mexico to Shell’s Houma Terminal.

Genesis Energy owns 23% interest in the pipeline system.

Oil spill

On July 25, 2009, the pipeline leaked approximately 63,000 gallons of oil, 33 miles offshore and 60 miles southwest of Houma, Louisiana.
