St.James Strategic Petroleum Reserve Terminal
|
|
| Part of the supply system for the nation's Emergency Oil Stockpile, the terminal area's 173 acres contain two river docks, six storage tanks (2 million barrel total capacity), pumping and metering stations, and a control complex. Each dock can load 40,000 barrels per hour of crude oil into tankers. St. James Terminal is linked to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve's Bayou Choctaw and Weeks Island storage sites. During fill operations, oil can be delivered to the terminal by tankers using the Mississippi River. Oil can also be transferred directly from Bayou Choctaw or Weeks Island to tankers. At the terminal, oil can also be received from a pipeline connected to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP). Located in the Gulf of Mexico, LOOP can offload the largest ocean-going supertankers. The commercially owned Capline pipeline connects St. James with oil terminals in Patoka, Illinois, in the center of the midwestern refinery area. |
