USA - New ethane export 
terminal in Houston

Texas-based Enterprise Products Partners is building a new ethane export facility on the Houston Ship Canal. The company has signed a 30-year terminal leasing agreement with the Port of Houston. The new terminal will be next to Morgan’s Point Terminal, which the partnership also operates. A pipeline will also be built from the natural gas facility at Mont Belvieu in Texas.

Expected to be in operation from late 2016, the terminal will have a loading capability of 10,000 barrels an hour.
