A 150-acre tract in an industrial area of southeast Houston has been purchased as the site for the new Enterprise Crude Houston terminal.
Crude oil will deliver the Enterprise Crude Houston facility through the partnership’s Rancho Pipeline, located approximately three miles northwest of the new terminal, and two, 24-inch diameter pipelines the company plans to construct.
Strategically located close to two large-diameter crude oil distribution pipelines, the Enterprise Crude Houston terminal will provide access to the major refiners in Texas City, as well as other installations in Pasadena/Deer Park, Baytown and along the Houston Ship Channel via the Seaway Pipeline.
The new crude oil storage facility and related infrastructure is scheduled to begin service in mid-2012.
The company said that initial storage capacity at the Crude Houston terminal will be dedicated to the operation of the new pipelines.
