Epic Loads First Oil Tanker at Texas Terminal

摘要

Epic Midstream loaded its first oil tanker at its new Texas export terminal and plans to open another dock in the third quarter of 2020, benefiting from rising demand for low-sulfur US crude, Epic President Brian Freed said in an interview. Its Corpus Christi, Texas, facility has capacity to load Aframax tankers, which can carry up to 750,000 bbl of oil, at a rate of 20,000 bbl/hour, boosting export capabilities as refiners in Europe and Asia look for more light, sweet crude supply ahead of new maritime fuel standards.
