Low prices could tamp down Seaway oil shipments

摘要

Freeport, Texas—Current low crude oil prices could tamp down shipments on the new 450,000 b/d Seaway “twin” pipeline to the US Gulf Coast, which came online last month and has now ramped up to about half that capacity, Jim Teague, chief operating officer for Seaway operator Enterprise Products Partners, said Friday. The “twin” parallels and augments the original 400,000 b/d Seaway pipeline which was reversed and put into service in 2012 to connect the oil hub at Cushing, Oklahoma with US Gulf Coast refining markets.
