Red Wolf Crude Connector Pipeline was a proposed crude oil pipeline in Texas, USA. As of 2021 it is presumed to be cancelled. There was no evidence that development had occurred since it was announced in 2018, and the EIA no longer listed it as a project in official documents.

Location

The pipeline will run from near Big Spring, Texas to near Colorado City, Texas.

Project Details

• Operator:
• Owner: Wolf Midstream Partners, LLC
• Parent: Wolf Midstream Partners, LLC
• Capacity: 120000 barrels per day
• Length: 40 miles
• Diameter: 16 inches
• Status: Cancelled
• Start Year: 2019
• Associated Infrastructure: Gray Wolf Crude Connector Pipeline

Background

According to June 2020 data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the pipeline was expected to start operations in 2019, but it eventually disappared from EIA's liquid petroleum pipeline infrastructure documents. The pipeline begins near Big Spring, Texas, where it will connect to Wolf Midstream’s Gray Wolf Crude Connector Pipeline. It would have terminated at Wolf Midstream’s existing crude oil terminal near Colorado City, Texas.

After having what appears to have been an unsuccessful open season, as of 2021 the pipeline is now considered cancelled.
