Status & ownership

Status
Temporary embargo on MidCon East movements to Vermillion, SD since 2024-11-19 (still in FERC 17.47.0). Valley Products expansion ('Northern Mexico Supply - Valley Expansion', Texas 114) and Laredo export pipeline serve Mexico with export-grade products. Dos Paises line moves naphtha from the Mexico border near Penitas to Brownsville. FERC 17.48.0 (MidCon East) is proposed. Houston 12-inch line operates as a Baytown-South Houston shuttle for ExxonMobil.
Ownership
Sunoco LP acquired NuStar Energy L.P. (closed May 2024). Tariffs are still filed by NuStar Logistics, L.P. (South/West products and crude) and NuStar Pipeline Operating Partnership, L.P. (MidCon East/North, ex-Kaneb, plus ammonia), with tariff administration by Energy Transfer (tariffs@energytransfer.com, Houston) and documents hosted on Energy Transfer's common-carrier portal. Sunoco LP's own site calls the MidCon lines 'SunocoMidCon'.
Intrastate
Most South Texas product movements are intrastate under Texas RRC tariffs (P-5 616747; T-4 permits 05047 (Texas 97), 06945 (Texas 99), 06288 (Texas 113)): Texas 97, 98, 99, 112, 113, 114.

Research
HIGH confidence

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
