Press Release Body = No. (07-15890-CV) in District Court of the 13th Judicial District of Navarro County, Texas Frost, Texas (Navarro County)
Texas residents, Kathleen Kilgore and Susan Harrington initiated a lawsuit against Magellan Pipeline Company alleging a continual and ongoing trespass on their property in Frost, Texas (Navarro County).
Immediate injunction request was filed enjoining Magellan Pipeline Company from continuing its trespasses upon plaintiff's property and from operating any and all pipelines that run under, through, or across plaintiff's property. The complaint purports to assert claims for intentional tort of trespass with respect to the plaintiff's property.
The suit, filed in Navarro County District Court on Friday, January 5, 2007, claims that Magellan Pipeline Company has entered onto the property and installed pipelines that run across the plaintiffs property.
Additionally, Equilon Pipeline Company, LLC (formerly known as Shell), allegedly trespassed on the plaintiffs property and installed a pipeline in 1999 which connects to the $12,756,470.00 Frost, Texas storage facility (tank farm) immediately adjacent to plaintiffs property.
In an Assignment of Rights-of-Way and Permits filed in the real property records of Navarro County on October 10, 2004, Equilon assigned its rights to the putative 1999 Easement to Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P.
The acquisition included The Orion refined products pipeline system.
Orion\'s three segments are linked at the Magellan's Frost storage facility, which has approximately 518,000 barrels of storage, and form a system capable of transporting approximately 100,000 barrels per day, or bpd.
The south segment, which extends from its East Houston terminal located near Houston, Texas to Magellan's Frost Texas storage facility, located approximately 50 miles south of Dallas, Texas.
The north segment, which extends from Magellan's Frost, Texas storage facility to
Duncan, Oklahoma, where it interconnects with our 6,700-mile petroleum products pipeline system; and
The west segment extends from Magellan's Frost, Texas storage facility to El Paso, Texas.
Orion receives all of the refined products it transports from the East Houston terminal, which receives the majority of its supply from Shell\'s Deer Park, Texas refinery. The remainder of the refined products received by the East Houston terminal originates from Kinder Morgan Energy Partners L.P.\'s terminals located in Galena Park and Pasadena, Texas.
