Enterprise Invokes Allocation On MAPL East and West Legs

Enterprise Products will place the Mid-America Pipeline’s east and west legs on allocation effective Dec. 1 at 7 a.m. In a notice to shippers Nov. 20, Enterprise noted that recent December nominations exceeded pipeline capacity. Currently, allocation is not terminal-specific nor is it a daily allocation. Enterprise is asking shippers to, as much as possible, lift their volumes ratably through December to assure all gallons can be delivered. The company is also encouraging weekend and evening liftings during off-peak times to minimize wait times.

East leg allocated volumes can be lifted at Cantril, Dubuque, and Iowa City, Iowa; Farmington, Ill.; Janesville, Wis.; and Kearney and Moberly, Mo. West leg allocated volumes can be picked up at Clay Center, Kan.; Greenwood Neb.; Mankato, Minn.; and Ogden, Sanborn, and Whiting, Iowa. Volumes at Inver Grove Heights, Jackson, and Pine Bend, Minn. will be allocated individually.

Enterprise was to issue individual allocations by the close of the business day Nov. 24. Shippers were requested to review them and confirm they were adequate for December needs. Those having excess were asked to notify Enterprise so the company could reallocate gallons to other shippers.
