Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. has launched an open season to assess firm customer interest to transport refined petroleum products to Little Rock, Arkansas. Interested customers must submit binding commitments by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on Oct. 16, 2013.

The potential project would include construction of an approximately 160-mile, 12-inch diameter pipeline capable of transporting 75,000 barrels per day of gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel from the partnership's Ft. Smith, Arkansas terminal, providing the Little Rock market access to refined products from Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refineries via Magellan's extensive refined petroleum products pipeline system.

Subject to the results of this open season and receipt of the necessary permits and regulatory approval, the potential pipeline could be operational in the third quarter of 2015.
