Magellan Union Pacific Pipeline Project - Refined Product Pipeline in North Little Rock, Arkansas

The Magellan Union Pacific Pipeline Project is a refined product pipeline located in North Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. This facility is part of a broader network that distributes petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel across the region. The pipeline operates under the jurisdiction of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with DOT 49 CFR Part 195 regulations for hazardous liquid pipelines. As a refined product pipeline, the facility is designed to transport various petroleum products safely and efficiently. The pipeline infrastructure includes cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion and monitoring systems to detect leaks. The project is situated in Pulaski County, near the Little Rock metropolitan area, which influences its operational and safety considerations. The pipeline plays a critical role in the regional fuel supply chain, connecting refineries and distribution terminals to end-users. Its location in central Arkansas supports the energy needs of the surrounding communities and industries. The facility's operational status ensures continued service for the transportation of essential petroleum products.

The pipeline traverses areas near the Arkansas River and populated zones in North Little Rock, requiring robust spill prevention and response measures. The transport of refined products poses risks of groundwater contamination in the event of a leak. Cathodic protection and regular inspections are employed to mitigate corrosion-related failures.
