Background
Auger is a 174-mile offshore Gulf of Mexico pipeline system that transports crude from producers in eastern Garden Banks and Keathley Canyon blocks from more than 13 different production fields.[4][2] Auger transports oil for producers to two crude market options: (1) the 20-inch pipeline delivers to Ship Shoal pipeline at Ship Shoal 28 for delivery to the St. James market hub (Bonito Sour crude), and (2) the 12-inch pipeline delivers to Eugene Island pipeline for delivery to the Houma market hub (Eugene Island crude).[2]
In November 2015, Shell Midstream Partners, LP acquired the Auger Pipeline System as part of an acquisition of Pecten Midstream LLC from Shell Pipeline Company LP.[4]
