Open season for Allegheny Access
Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. announced that Sunoco Pipeline L.P. and Inland Corporation will commence a binding Open Season for the Allegheny Access Pipeline project, which will transport refined products from the Midwest to eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania markets.
Allegheny Access Pipeline is expected to have an initial capacity to deliver 85,000 barrels per day with the ability to scale up to 110,000 barrels per day. The project will use a combination of new and existing assets. The Allegheny Access Pipeline is scheduled to be operational in the first half of 2014.
“The Allegheny Access Pipeline will give refiners and marketers in the Midwest convenient and cost-effective access to eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania markets, including Pittsburgh,” said Michael J. Hennigan, Sunoco Logistics’ president and chief executive officer. “This project will enable a steady and direct supply of gasoline and diesel fuel to consumers in Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities.”
