中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年2月15日华盛顿报道,安桥公司在2018年第四季度财报电话会议上说,随着大约10个项目的开发商在德克萨斯州和路易斯安那州海上竞相建造深水原油出口终端,安桥公司认为只有其中的一个项目在2021年底 - 2022年初时间段里才有足够的需求。
安桥公司、金德摩根公司和Oiltanking公司已经提议在德克萨斯州自由港海上建造德克萨斯柯尔特海上装载终端。这个终端将能够直接装载超大型油轮(VLCC),目前只有路易斯安那海上石油港可以做到这一点。
今年1月,这家合资企业向美国海事局提交了申请,这一过程将需要大约一年的时间来完成。
安桥公司液体管道总裁盖伊·贾维斯表示:“我们之所以这么做,是因为我们希望努力保持2021年底、2022年初的服役日期目标。”
贾维斯说:“我们知道这是一个竞争激烈的环境。我们将继续竞争。我们已经看到了一些重要客户,我们正在尽最大努力使这个项目成为一个有保障的投资。”
美国能源信息署的数据显示,在截至2月8日的一周内,美国原油平均日出口量为236万桶。根据美国人口普查局的数据,2018年德克萨斯州和路易斯安那州的原油出口占美国原油出口总量的80%至94%,具体比例视月份而定。

Enbridge sees fierce competition for building US Gulf Coast VLCC export terminals
With developers of about 10 projects racing to build deepwater crude export terminals off Texas and Louisiana, Enbridge only sees enough demand for one of them in the late 2021-early 2022 timeframe, the company said in its fourth-quarter 2018 earnings call.
Enbridge, Kinder Morgan and Oiltanking have proposed the Texas Colt Offshore Loading Terminal offshore Freeport, Texas. It would be capable of loading VLCCs directly, something only the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port can currently do.
The joint venture filed an application with the US Maritime Administration in January, a process that will take about a year to complete.
"We got that in because we want to try and preserve the in-service date targets that we have out there of late 2021, early 2022," said Guy Jarvis, president of liquids pipelines.
"We do know it is a competitive environment," Jarvis added. "We're continuing to compete. We've got a line of sight to some pretty significant customers, and we're doing our darndest to get that project to the point where it's a secured investment."
The US exported 2.36 million b/d of crude in the week that ended February 8, according to Energy Information Administration data. Texas and Louisiana accounted for between 80% and 94% of all US crude exports in 2018, depending on the month, according to US Census Bureau data.
