Hoover Energy Partners LP, and its affiliate Hoover Energy Texas Crude LLC, announced that it has commenced operations and is flowing oil on phase I of its Pecos Crossing pipeline, a 25-mile, 12-in crude oil system that serves the heart of the Delaware Basin in Ward and Reeves counties, Texas.

Hoover owns and operates 100% of Pecos Crossing and operates Barstow station. Barstow station consists of 20,000 bbl of operational crude oil storage and associated measurement equipment. Barstow station is located at the northern terminus of Pecos Crossing and delivers to Plains All American Pipeline’s (NYSE: PAA) Barstow pipeline.

Additionally, Hoover affiliate, Pecos River Pipeline I LP, announced that its Pecos River natural gas gathering system has begun construction of a producer supported compressor station and related 15-mile, 8-in steel pipeline. Balmorhea station will provide low pressure (30 PSIG) gathering for Pecos River’s 80+ mile natural gas gathering infrastructure. Bulrush pipeline originates downstream of Balmorhea station and is designed to transport up to 65 Mcf/d of associated natural gas. Bulrush will deliver to Regency Energy Partners downstream of Regency’s station 799. Hoover will connect 40+ wells to Pecos River in 2012 and anticipates this level of activity continuing through 2013.
