en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dallas-based Sentinel Midstream announced last month that it has commenced construction of the Texas GulfLink deepwater crude oil export terminal approximately 30 miles offshore from Freeport. The terminal will be capable of loading fully laden Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) at sea, connecting global markets with crude oil produced in North America. The project is funded by the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement, with Sentinel leading development and overseeing the terminal's construction, commercial operations, and long-term management.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick stated on May 5 that this milestone will bring jobs and accelerated development to the Gulf of America for years to come, and expressed anticipation for progress by Japan and Sentinel Midstream in delivering clean, affordable, and efficient energy production to American consumers. Sentinel CEO Jeff Ballard said the company is proud to be a trusted partner of the U.S. and Japanese governments and will help lead the next chapter of U.S. oil exports.

The U.S. Department of Transportation approved Sentinel's license to build and operate Texas GulfLink in February.
