Equilon Pipeline Builds Community Awareness Through Website Launch

          Information Available at http://www.newmexicoproductspipeline.com

    HOUSTON, Aug. 14 Equilon Pipeline Company LLC announced
the launch of its community information website --
http://www.newmexicoproductspipeline.com .  This site provides information about the
proposed New Mexico Products Pipeline to anyone with Internet access.
    "Our goal is to provide the neighboring communities with access to our
plans, information on the safety features of this project, and our progress as
we move forward with a pipeline system that will provide New Mexicans
increased access to competitively priced Gulf Coast fuels," said Chuck
Moseman, Equilon project director.
    "We're eager to keep our existing and future pipeline neighbors informed
about the project," Moseman added.  "We'll be posting public meeting schedules
and other updates as they are available."
    The proposed New Mexico Products Pipeline, originating in the Odessa,
Texas area, will provide a safe and efficient means of transportation for
gasoline and other petroleum products to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and the Four
Corners area.  The project will utilize 406 miles of existing pipeline through
New Mexico, which will further minimize any potential environmental and
community impacts.
    The new website provides maps, describes the project, provides an overview
of the Environmental Impact Statement process and explains the measures that
Equilon will take to build and operate a safe system.  Visitors to the site,
both the media and the community, can submit questions or comments about the
pipeline project.  They can also request that their names be added to an
electronic mail list.  Log on at http://www.newmexicoproductspipeline.com
