Trafigura has committed to transport 300 000 bpd of crude oil from the Permian Basin to the port of Corpus Christi, Texas via the Cactus II Pipeline, which is targeted for service in 3Q19.
This commitment will enable Trafigura to transport crude oil bought from producers in the Permian basin, the world’s fastest growing oil producing region, and deliver crude for American and international refining customers, the company’s splitters and export terminal in Corpus Christi. The export terminal is co-owned with Buckeye Partners L.P., with Trafigura retaining exclusive throughput rights.
“This is one of the largest commitments of its kind to be signed in the US and solidifies Trafigura’s position as a leading US exporter of crude oil and refined products,” said Corey Prologo, Head of Oil Trading and Director for Trafigura North America. “As demand for American crude continues to grow we’ll be able to bring our significant logistics infrastructure, global customer base and marketing skills to producers in the Permian Basin.”
The announcement builds from an agreement signed with Plains in July 2017 for Trafigura to receive up to 100 000 bpd of crude oil and condensate from the Permian Basin to Corpus Christi, Texas.
