The stacked pipe for the pipeline in the picture was taken on Saturday September 5th, 2010 on the hill about 4 miles North of Hochheim on US 183.
Enterprise will transport EOG oil on the 140-mile pipeline. Natural-gas processing services for EOG are also included.
EOG will more than double drilling in the Eagle Ford this year. The new pipeline, to be completed in early 2012 with a capacity for 350,000 barrels of oil a day. Enterprise is in talks with other potential shippers.
“The South Texas Eagle Ford has the potential to be one of the largest crude-oil discoveries in the United States including the deep water Gulf of Mexico, in the last 40 years,” Mark G. Papa, chief executive officer of Houston-based EOG, said in the statement.

Pipelines in Eagle Ford Shale Looking to Grow With Producers
There is a story today on Bloomberg News about Koch Pipeline Co. seeking approval for a 16-inch crude oil pipeline with a 120,000 barrels of oil per day capacity. The pipeline will run from the Eagle Ford to a refinery at Corpus Christi, Texas. Bloomberg says a Koch representaive commented that the pipeline could be increased to 200,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
Kinder Morgan and Eagle Ford Gathering run Copano Pipeline is also mentioned that their 30 inch pipeline will connect to Chesapeake Energy.

I drove in the top of the hill and saw a prepared drill site and a second prepared site where the pipe and equipment is being stored. Looks like this might be a central location for the pipeline construction in the Hochheim area. There is also a a recent pipeline that runs on the East side of US 183 for a about 3 miles towards Gonzales. A similar pipeline runs on the West side of US 183 down the hill. Lots and lots of Eagle Ford activity in the area.
