Houston-based pipeline company Max Energy said last week it acquired an upper Gulf Coast pipeline system from Southcross Gulf Coast Transmission. The purchase will add 328 miles of existing pipeline to Max Energy’s system. Todd Edwards, chairman, said April 4, “Max Energy can now connect oil from all over the state to our Edna facility. We believe that will provide customers with alternatives to better optimize their crude oil movements and increase value throughout their supply chains.”
Max Energy said it will immediately begin work converting segments of the pipeline to crude operations. Before the end of 2022 Max Energy plans to complete interconnects with Grey Oak and Victoria Express pipelines to expand access to crude production from Permian Basin and Eagle Ford.
