Blueknight Energy Partners, L.P. is extending the open season for the north extension of the Pecos River Pipeline until April 26, 2013 to allow potential shippers to finalize arrangements for committed space. BKEP will also continue to accept new shipper commitments during the extended open season.

'We have received a strong positive response from producers and shippers in the area to the Pecos River Pipeline extension, which will provide active drillers in New Mexico and the Pecos, Texas, area a safe, cost-effective way to transport their product to the Gulf Coast market,' said Mark Hurley, BKEP's chief executive officer. 'Extending the open season for this project will let producers and shippers complete the contracting process and give others an opportunity to perform due diligence.'
