With strong overseas demand, some oil pipeline flows in Texas have exceeded their designed capacity.

Golden Ten Data reported on April 21 that due to strong overseas demand for US crude oil, in some cases, oil pipeline throughput in Texas has exceeded its design capacity. According to data from research firm Wood Mackenzie, the amount of oil transported from the Permian Basin to Gulf Coast export terminals has reached an all-time high. Wood Mackenzie's data shows that just last week, the volume of crude oil transported through these pipelines increased by 1.5%, reaching an average of 5.27 million barrels per day. In one system transporting oil to the Corpus Christi export destination, pipeline operations have reached 102% of their design capacity.
