The Crosstex Energy companies, Crosstex Energy, L.P. and Crosstex Energy, Inc. (the Corporation), says that the Partnership has completed the Phase II expansion of its Riverside facility located on the Mississippi River in southern Louisiana. The Riverside facility's capacity to transload crude oil from railcars to the Partnership's barge facility has increased to approximately 15,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

Phase II additions to the Riverside facility include a 100,000 barrel-per day above-ground crude oil storage tank, a rail spur with a 26-spot crude railcar unloading rack, and a crude offloading facility with pumps and metering as well as a truck unloading bay. As part of the Phase II expansion, Riverside also was modified so that sour crude can be unloaded in addition to sweet crude.
