Sentinel Midstream Plans Freeport, Texas Deepwater Crude Oil Export Terminal
02/12/2019
The completed facility will be capable of fully loading Very Large Crude Carrier vessels. Texas GulfLink will include an onshore terminal with up to 18 million barrels of storage, an offshore 42-in. pipeline, and a manned offshore platform to facilitate port operations with two Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring Single Point Mooring buoys. Projected export loading rates will be up to 85,000 barrels per hour, with a nominal capacity of 1.2 million barrels per day over the course of a calendar year.
"Texas GulfLink will provide the United States with an economical solution to clear the over-supply barrels destined for the Gulf Coast," said Sentinel Midstream President & CEO Jeff Ballard. "We have compiled a team of industry leading professionals who possess unique experience in construction and operations of deepwater ports and are well positioned to leverage that experience as prudent operators. Our team of seasoned professionals is committed to developing Texas GulfLink with a specific focus on exceeding industry standards for safety and environmental protection."
Over the past year, Sentinel Midstream said it developed Texas GulfLink in conjunction with multiple stakeholders, including federal, state, and local agencies. The project has secured necessary commercial support to justify the capital investment and is preparing its submission of a formal permit with the United States Maritime Administration.
According to company officials, project financing is being provided by Cresta Fund Management. Cresta Managing Partner Chris Rozzell said, "Sentinel has assembled the best-in-class team, with deep experience developing and operating deepwater export solutions. We are excited to partner with them as they bring this critical facility to the Gulf Coast market."
"We view the company's value proposition, which provides a neutral infrastructure solution without the inherent conflicts of affiliated marketing, as the best approach to support the interests of U.S. producers and lead to the greatest outcome for all stakeholders,” he added.
