HOUSTON, July 17, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Electric Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AETI), a leading provider of power delivery solutions for the global energy industry, announced today that its M&I Electric business has been awarded a $4M contract to provide a turnkey power delivery solution for a new pipeline under construction in Texas.
The company received the award from one of the largest midstream oil & gas companies in the United States for a new pipeline being constructed to deliver crude oil from the Permian Basin in West Texas across the state to Nederland, Texas. The new pipeline will provide transportation of up to 100,000 barrels of oil per day, with an estimated total capacity of up to 300,000 barrels per day.
