TULSA, Okla. – Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MMP) announced today that it received sufficient commitments through its recent open season to proceed to the next phase for its potential pipeline to Little Rock, Arkansas. The partnership continues to finalize the scope and engineering estimates for this potential project, which may include utilization of an existing third-party pipeline for a portion of the route. 

As previously announced, Magellan has proposed to transport up to 75,000 barrels per day of gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel to Little Rock from the partnership’s Ft. Smith, Arkansas terminal, providing the Little Rock market access to refined products from Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refineries via Magellan’s extensive refined petroleum products pipeline system.  

Management is currently negotiating an agreement to utilize a portion of an existing third-party pipeline, which will be extended to Magellan’s Ft. Smith terminal and the Little Rock market with newly-constructed pipeline. Subject to finalizing this agreement and receipt of the necessary permits and regulatory approval for the pipeline construction, the potential Little Rock pipeline could be operational in late 2015.
