Kinder Morgan and Valero are partnering in the formation of Parkway Pipeline LLC for the purpose of constructing, owning and operating a proposed 141-mile, 16" diameter underground pipeline that will originate in Norco, Louisiana and terminate at an interconnect with existing petroleum facilities in Collins, Mississippi. The target in service date for the pipeline is September, 2013.

Parkway will enable the transportation of refined liquid petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and turbine fuel, from existing refineries in the Norco, Louisiana area to existing facilities in Collins, Mississippi. These products can then be distributed locally or injected into existing pipelines for distribution throughout the southeastern United States.

Kinder Morgan will serve as construction manager and operator of the pipeline.
