/PRNewswire/ — Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: AE) (“Adams” or the “Company”) today announces that its subsidiary, Victoria Express Pipeline, L.L.C. (“VEX”), will construct a new pipeline connection to Max Midstream Texas, LLC’s (“Max Midstream”) recently acquired Upper Gulf Coast Pipeline System.

Currently, the VEX Pipeline System connects the central Eagle Ford Shale near

Cuero, TX

to the GulfMark Terminals, LLC (“GMT”)

Cuero

terminal facility and to the GMT POV terminal facility at the Port of

Victoria, Texas

. Max Midstream’s Upper Gulf Coast Pipeline System spans points both upstream and downstream of the VEX Pipeline System, providing incremental crude oil supply potential, as well as new market delivery points to VEX customers to the dock at

Point Comfort

via the Max Midstream system. Potential future connection points via the Max Midstream system include the Kinder Morgan Crude & Condensate pipeline, P66 Gray Oak Pipeline and the Taft Hub near the Port of

Corpus Christi

.

Greg Mills

, President of GulfMark Energy, Inc. commented, “The connection to the Max Midstream system will allow VEX to provide shippers with more diversity of supply, and through the Max Midstream system, access to important additional crude oil markets, which will complement the existing Port of

Victoria

market which the VEX Pipeline serves today.”

“I am pleased to see the GulfMark team continue to execute on the strategic plans surrounding the VEX Pipeline System. This connection with Max Midstream is the next step toward maximizing this asset’s potential,” said

Kevin Roycraft

, Adams’ Chief Executive Officer and President.

Construction of the new pipeline connection will begin in

September 2022

, and we anticipate the connection being complete by the end of the year, with new volume anticipated on the pipeline as early as the first quarter to the first half of 2023.
