Buckeye Partners, Phillips 66 and Andeavor to construct South Texas gateway terminal
Buckeye Partners, today announced the formation of a joint venture with Phillips 66 Partners and Andeavor to develop a new deep-water, open access marine terminal in Ingleside, Texas. The South Texas Gateway Terminal will be constructed on a 212 acre waterfront parcel at the mouth of Corpus Christi Bay. The facility is positioned to serve as the primary outlet for crude oil and condensate volumes delivered off of the planned Gray Oak pipeline from the Permian Basin. The terminal, to be constructed and operated by Buckeye, will offer 3.4 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity, connectivity to the Gray Oak pipeline and two deep-water vessel docks capable of berthing Very Large Crude Carrier (“VLCC”) petroleum tankers as part of the initial scope of construction. The facility can ultimately be expanded to include over 10 million barrels of storage capacity as well as multiple additional docks and other inbound pipeline connections. The initial construction of the terminal is supported by long-term minimum volume throughput commitments from credit-worthy customers, including Phillips 66 and Andeavor, and is scheduled to commence initial operations by the end of 2019. Buckeye will own a 50% interest in the newly formed joint venture and Phillips 66 Partners and Andeavor will each own a 25% interest.
“The South Texas Gateway Terminal will serve as a premier open-access deep-water marine terminal in the Port of Corpus Christi,” said Khalid Muslih, Executive Vice President of Buckeye and President of Buckeye’s Global Marine Terminals business unit. “The terminal will provide customers with logistics solutions that connect the region’s rapidly growing crude oil production with advantaged access to global markets. Buckeye is extremely pleased to be partnering with two other leading integrated energy firms in Phillips 66 Partners and Andeavor and believes this partnership offers tremendous opportunity for future development and growth of the South Texas Gateway Terminal.”
“This project expands our presence in the important Corpus Christi market, which we believe offers strong competitive advantages for waterborne shipments of crude oil and other petroleum products from the fast growing Permian and Eagle Ford shale plays. Recently announced improvements to our existing flagship Buckeye Texas Partners terminal, which sits along the ship channel in the Port of Corpus Christi, have expanded its leading marine terminalling capabilities. This combined marine terminal presence in Corpus Christi will provide our customers with advantaged last mile solutions, including unmatched connectivity to two recently announced Permian Basin pipeline expansions. We believe that these assets represent a competitive advantage for Buckeye and position us at the forefront of the fast-growing U.S. crude oil export movement,” said Mr. Muslih.
