The Seaway pipeline that was reversed last year to relieve a historic glut of oil in the central U.S. is “running as expected” despite restrictions on deliveries at the pipe’s final terminal in Jones Creek, Texas, the operator said today.

Shippers can take enough oil off the line at a Seaway terminal in Katy, Texas, to “make up the difference,” said Rick Rainey, a Houston-based spokesman for Enterprise Product Partners LP. Rainey declined to specify the rate at which it’s currently running.
