About the Project

The Permian Basin is one of the world’s most prolific oil basins and the largest in the United States. It now accounts for nearly half of U.S. oil production. The rejuvenation of oil production in the region energized the U.S. economy and helped secure the country’s energy independence. For Americans, this has meant lower gasoline prices, increased U.S. manufacturing growth and new job opportunities.

The Wink to Webster Pipeline System was developed to ease a transportation bottleneck that formed as oil production began to exceed pipeline capacity in the late-2010s.  As a result, the startup of the Wink to Webster Pipeline System helped facilitate the continued growth of not only the Permian Basin’s production activity but that of the Gulf Coast’s refining facilities as well.

The 642-mile Wink to Webster Pipeline System transports more than one million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate from the Permian Basin to the Gulf Coast. The safe, reliable and efficient pipeline system will have origin points in Wink and Midland, Texas, and multiple destinations in the Houston market, including Webster and Baytown. The segment from Midland to Webster and a connection from Webster to Baytown, Texas, began commercial service in October 2020. Work is underway to complete the Wink-to-Midland segment and add additional connectivity to the system.
