Moreover, the expansion contemplates deepening and widening of the pipeline’s capacity to support the export of 20 million barrels of oil per month, by 2023. In addition, “Aframax and Suezmax ships will also be able to load at the Port, making it a viable option for any exporter seeking a port other than Houston or Corpus Christi.”

“Dan is one of the preeminent energy traders in the world; we are excited to have him on our team. We are also pleased to announce that oil is already starting to reach the Port of Calhoun through our pipeline. Now, with Dan joining, we’re ready to take it to market,” Edwards remarked.
