The Pipeline will have the capacity to accept over 100,000 barrels per day of crude oil from numerous lease tank batteries and other field receipt points and a truck terminal in the northern Delaware Basin. By bidding for capacity on the Pipeline, producers and marketers can enjoy the option to deliver crude through the System to multiple downstream pipelines and a rail terminal, providing access to local refineries, Cushing and the US Gulf Coast.
Open Season
Alpha intends to conduct an Open Season to obtain long-term acreage or long-term volume commitments for this new crude oil transportation System. The Open Season will provide an opportunity for interested shippers to present bids for long term transportation commitments for capacity rights at competitive rates. The Pipeline is projected to be in service in November 2015.
Open Season Process
The Open Season is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2015 and end on October 31, 2015. All bids must be submitted to Alpha by 5:00 pm, Central Standard Time, on or before October 31, 2015.
All requests for Open Season documents, presentation of bids, and other correspondence should be directed to:
