原标题:托克和菲利普斯66将共建大型深水油港
中国石化新闻网讯 据全球能源新闻2020年3月1日休斯顿报道,全球著名大宗商品交易商托克公司日前表示,托克公司已与美国炼油巨头菲利普斯66组建了一个合资企业,在德州共建一个大型深水加油港口,建成后的这个港口能够停泊超级油轮。
位于科珀斯克里斯蒂港入口以东21海里的德州Bluewater终端将由两个单点系泊浮标组成,这个终端可以为能够运送200万桶石油的巨型油轮(VLCCs)装载石油。
总部位于日内瓦的托克公司表示,该公司日前已撤回了其在2018年7月提交给美国海事管理局(MARAD)的德克萨斯海湾终端项目。
在长达数十年的禁令解除后,美国在2016年初成为了石油出口国,但基础设施建设落后于美国飞速增长的页岩产量。
根据美国能源信息署(EIA)的统计数据,美国目前是全球最大的石油生产国,日产石油1300万桶,过去4周的石油平均日出口量约为340万桶。
美国最大盆地二叠纪盆地的严重瓶颈问题随着去年3条主要管道的开通情况有所改善,但能够处理超大型油轮的出口终端仍然供不应求。
为了弥补这一缺口,美国已经提出了一系列的港口项目。美国第4大炼油商菲利普斯66去年7月首次提出了建造Bluewater终端。当时,至少有8个其他项目已经宣布。
据悉,这个项目的最终投资决定预计将在今年晚些时候做出。

Trafigura, Phillips 66 to Build Deepwater Texas Oil Port
Global commodities trader Trafigura said on Friday it had formed a joint venture with U.S. refiner Phillips 66 (PSX) to build a major deepwater port in Texas capable of handling supertankers.
The Bluewater Texas Terminal, which will be located 21 nautical miles east of the entrance to Corpus Christi port, will consist of two single point mooring buoys that can load Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) capable of carrying around 2 million barrels of oil.
Geneva-based Trafigura said it had withdrawn its Texas Gulf Terminals project submitted to the United States Maritime Administration (MARAD) in July 2018.
The United States became a crude exporter in early 2016 after a decades-long ban was lifted but infrastructure has lagged behind the country s sky-rocketing shale production.
The U.S. is now the world s biggest crude producer at 13 million barrels per day (bpd) with exports averaging about 3.4 million barrels per day for the last four weeks, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Severe pipeline bottlenecks out of the Permian basin, the biggest in the U.S., have improved with the start of three major pipes last year but export terminals capable of handling supertankers are still in short supply.
A flurry of port projects have been proposed to fix the gap.
Phillips 66, the fourth largest U.S. refiner, first proposed Bluewater terminal in July last year. At the time, at least eight other projects had already been announced.
A final investment decision is expected to be made later this year, the statement added.
