Texas GulfLink Oil Export Project Gets Federal Approval: Rigzone

  • Sentinel Midstream has received approval from the Department of Transportation for a project to build a crude oil export facility with loading rates of up to 1m b/d off the coast of Brazoria County, Texas.
  • The DOT’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) said the approval for Texas GulfLink supports President Donald Trump’s “Unleashing American Energy” Executive Order.
  • The deepwater port terminal will be about 26.6 nautical miles off Brazoria’s side of the Texan Gulf Coast in a water depth of about 104 feet. The project involves a deepwater port, one fixed offshore platform, about 45 statute miles of pipeline infrastructure and a booster station, according to information on MARAD’s website.
  • The design would allow up to two very large crude carriers (VLCC) to moor at single-point mooring (SPM) buoys and connect with the port via floating connecting crude oil hoses. “Although two VLCCs can be moored to the deepwater port simultaneously, only one can be loaded at a time”, MARAD says.
  • Texas GulfLink LLC says on its website, “Currently, most VLCCs are loaded by a process called ‘reverse lightering’ in which up to four smaller tankers ferry crude oil to VLCCs anchored offshore, empty their tanks, and return to port to be loaded again. Texas GulfLink, by contrast, will load VLCCs and other tankers directly at the terminal.”
