Smaller Gas Ration Is Predicted for Mid-West
An un-named source predicts tighter Midwest gas restrictions once the eastward extension of the Big Inch oil pipeline nears completion around Aug 1. The 24 inch line currently moves 250000 barrels daily from Texas to Norris City, with about half sent east by rail while the rest serves Midwest refineries. After the east leg opens, capacity rises to 300000 barrels daily and more oil products will flow east, reducing Midwest supply despite continued Southwest reliance. A second Texas to East Coast pipeline will add about 165000 barrels daily to Norris City, with 45000 barrels staying local, but its eastward extension expected by Jan 1 will shift 235000 barrels daily eastward, further impacting Midwest supplies.
