Gulf Coast this decade, two are off Freeport, about 60 miles (96.56 km) south of Houston, and a third east of Houston. Of the four proposed crude oil export terminals planned for the U.S. Proposed oil export terminals around Houston will add to future flows, they added. Plans to widen the Houston ship channel to reduce congestion and a 250,000 bpd expansion of capacity at Exxon’s Beaumont refinery, will help boost flows to Houston, analysts said. oil output is projected to touch an all-time high of 12.53 million bpd this year on rising demand and prices. Permian production this month is projected to hit a record 5.7 million bpd, topping Canada’s average daily crude output last year, according to the U.S. “Houston becomes the next logical market for those barrels,” said Aaron Milford, CEO of Magellan Midstream Partners, which operates a pipeline from West Texas to Houston. Houston’s share fell to 22% from 33% during the same period. oil exports in 2022, from 28% four years earlier, according to RBN Energy’s weekly Crude Voyager report. EXPORT TERMINALSĬrude export volumes from Corpus Christi accounted for about 60% of all U.S. “We don’t expect to see those barrels show up at Corpus Christi,” said AJ O’Donnell, a director at energy pipeline researcher East Daley Capital. That paves the way for new production from the Permian basin to flow to Houston. Its pipeline utilization averaged 57% in 2022, up from 49% the year before, according to researcher East Daley Capital. export hub before an expansion in capacity made Corpus Christi the main export hub, has ample room. Pipelines that move oil from the Permian basin in West Texas to Corpus Christi are more than 90% full as buyers snap up the light, sweet oil, encouraging shippers to seek alternate routes, analysts said. Sanctions on Russian crude purchases by the European Union and Britain also have boosted demand. crude exports climbed to a record of about 4.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in March, spurred by recovering Chinese demand and competitive pricing for U.S. shale field to Houston that have run half empty are filling again as rising output has absorbed most of the space on lines to the main south Texas export hub in Corpus Christi.
