The underlying operating partnership traces its roots to the late 1990s, when Plains All American Pipeline first began consolidating crude oil pipeline and storage operations in Texas. Over the years, the partnership has expanded its footprint into major crude basins such as the Permian Basin, the Rocky Mountains, and the U.S. Gulf Coast, as well as key Canadian supply regions.
