Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:SXE) ("Southcross") today announced that it has commenced construction of a new 24-inch diameter pipeline, approximately 94 miles in length in the rich gas area of the Eagle Ford shale in South Texas. The pipeline, named the Webb Pipeline, is expected to have initial uncompressed capacity of approximately 300 MMcf/d. Southcross has also initiated construction of a 5 mile extension of its McMullen Pipeline to connect to the new pipeline.

The pipeline will extend from Webb County near Encinal, Texas, to McMullen County near Tilden, Texas. At Tilden, the new Webb Pipeline will connect to the extension of Southcross' existing McMullen Pipeline. This new project will allow rich gas sourced from Webb County to flow to Southcross' processing and fractionation complex near Corpus Christi, Texas.

"We believe this pipeline is a key step in the next stage of Southcross' growth that we expect will also include additional assets in the Eagle Ford," said Corey Lothamer, Vice President of Gas Marketing and Supply of Southcross' general partner. "We believe there are significant opportunities in extending our Eagle Ford rich gas footprint."

The construction of the new pipeline is anchored by a commitment of new rich gas volumes onto the Southcross system. Advanced discussions are underway with other producers regarding additional rich gas volumes.

Pipeline engineering, procurement and right-of-way purchasing is underway and the pipeline is expected to be in service in the fourth quarter of 2014. The project cost is estimated to be approximately $125 million. In conjunction with the announcement of this project, Southcross has executed an amendment with its senior secured credit facility lenders that permits construction of the pipeline.

A map of the anticipated route for the new pipeline is available on the Southcross website at www.southcrossenergy.com.
