Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. announced an extension of the open season for commitments on the Saddlehorn Pipeline to transport various grades of crude oil from the Niobrara play in northeast Colorado to Magellan's storage facilities in Cushing, Oklahoma.

The Saddlehorn Pipeline includes construction of an approximate 600-mile, 20-inch diameter pipeline capable of transporting up to 400,000 barrels per day of crude oil from Platteville, Colorado to Magellan's storage facilities in Cushing. Magellan is also broadening the scope of the pipeline system to include up to three new origin points for receipt of crude oil, subject to sufficient shipper support for the new origins. Along with Platteville, additional origin points in Colorado could be available in Weld County near Riverside, Briggsdale and Pawnee.

Subject to receipt of any necessary permits and regulatory approvals, the Saddlehorn Pipeline from Platteville to Cushing is expected to be operational during the second quarter of 2016.

As previously announced, Magellan has received binding commitments from a wholly owned subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Noble Energy, Inc. In addition, Magellan has entered into letters of intent with Anadarko and Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC for potential equity ownership in Saddlehorn Pipeline.

The project scope, cost and ownership structure of the Saddlehorn Pipeline will be finalized after the open season closes and the total committed volumes are known.
