Background

Glass Mountain Pipeline is a 215-mile intrastate pipeline located in western and north central Oklahoma. The pipeline consists of two 12-inch diameter laterals lines, one originating near the town of Alva in Woods County, Oklahoma and the second lateral originating near the town of Arnett in Ellis County, Oklahoma. The laterals intersect near Cleo Springs in Major County, Oklahoma where the pipeline increases to 18-inch in diameter and continues east to Cushing, Oklahoma. Glass Mountain Pipeline has a capacity of 140,000 barrels per day and 1,440,000 barrels of intermediate storage. The pipeline carries production from the Granite Wash and Mississippi Lime Play.

Expansion Project Details

• Operator: SemGroup, NGL Energy Partners
• Current capacity: 50,000 barrels per day
• Proposed capacity:
• Length: 70 miles (112.7 kilometers)
• Status: Proposed
• Start Year: 2019

Expansion Background

In February of 2019, owners announced an expansion project which will include five new mainline origination points in Canadian, Kingfisher and Grady Counties, Oklahoma, further extending service into the STACK, Woodford/Cana, Merge and SCOOP plays. The expansion includes approximately 70 miles of new transportation mainlines and approximately 750,000 barrels of additional storage capacity. Underpinning the expansion are multiple long-term agreements with top tier operators representing more than 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) of existing production and almost 600,000 operated acres, bringing Navigator’s total dedicated acreage in Oklahoma to more than 800,000 acres.
