Texas Deepwater Deer Park Terminal, a wholly owned subsidiary of Texas Deepwater Partners (TDWP) have completed the retrofit and refurbishment project at the Deer Park Rail Terminal (DPRT) on the Houston Ship Channel on time and on budget.
The DPRT has the capability of loading up to 48 railcars per day, or approximately 33,000 barrels of refined products per day. The terminal also has the advantage of providing additional value-added services including the capability of adding lubricity additives and red dye. The facility is equipped with two operational tanks with 50,000 barrels of total storage capacity, which will service the railcar loading rack at the terminal with direct pipeline connectivity to the Deer Park Refinery and the Colex Products Terminal.
While the initial focus will be on loading diesel into railcars initially destined to Mexico and the Permian Basin, there may be a potential to further expand the DPRT by adding incremental storage capacity and rail loading capabilities to handle additional refined products. DPRT continues to receive strong interest from multiple potential customers pursuing long-term agreements at the terminal. While DRPT currently has some remaining uncommitted capacity, DPRT expects to fully contract the remaining capacity in the near term.
“We’re very happy to see this project safely reach completion. As we continue to pursue ways to optimize our integrated value with Shell’s Joint Venture in the Deer Park Refinery, the Deer Park Rail Terminal will once again serve as an important channel to a variety of markets,” said Odeh Khoury, Vice President, Shell Products Trading & Supply Americas.
“We are happy to announce the successful completion of the DRPT project that was delivered on time and on budget resulting from our strong collaboration with Shell. The DRPT adds much-needed takeaway capacity for refined products in the strategic Houston Ship Channel market,” said Larry Ruple, TDWP’s Executive Vice President of Business Development.
