Happy Wednesday!
Did anyone happen to read Chron’s
First Draft Newsletter on May 6, 2026, their article titled, “’Texas oil
boom explodes as war sends tankers flocking to Corpus Christi”? The
article, it goes on to speak on how since the war began against Iran the Port of
Corpus Christi’s has increased crude oil exports by 300,000 barrels per day. The Port of Corpus Christi has broken their
old record for best 3-months start for the year. The increase this year is in part to the
exporting of LNG, farm exports, crude oil, and others. Exports of petroleum was almost 2.5 million
barrels a day in March. According to the
article in April the Port of Corpus Christi had almost 50% of the U.S. petroleum
go through the port, and Houston ports exported a large portion, too. The article
noted the incoming pipelines are nearly full with the highest throughput of 2.6
mbpd. Well, this is good news to the oil
and gas industry which until the war was having lean times. We will keep you posted on anything we hear in
regard to Texas ports. If you would
