Expansion capital spending
Further, the partnership confirmed that it has signed a definitive agreement with a private investor group for the previously announced opportunity to construct jointly 2 million barrels of crude oil storage in the crude oil hub of Cushing, Oklahoma. Magellan will be the majority owner and operator of the storage, which is expected to be operational by mid-2011.
As a result of this commitment and the progress of other expansion projects already underway, the partnership is increasing its expansion spending estimates to $270 million during 2010, with $50 million of spending in 2011 required to complete these projects. In addition the partnership continues to analyze more than $500 million of potential growth projects in earlier stages of development, which have been excluded from these spending estimates.
