Enbridge Houston Oil Terminal (EHOT)

The Enbridge Houston Oil Terminal will further Enbridge’s U.S. Gulf Coast strategy and create additional optionality for Enbridge and its customers.

The EHOT project is a new greenfield DOT-regulated crude oil storage terminal facility located in Jones Creek, Texas.

The project will include four above-ground storage tanks with a containment area, a new piping manifold, new electrical substation equipment, and a new administration building that includes a control room staffed 24/7. The project also includes the construction of one-mile piping laterals to tie the EHOT facility to the Seaway Jones Creek Facility.

EHOT will receive Canadian heavy crude and Domestic Sweet crude from 30” Seaway 1 and 30” Seaway 15 pipelines. Barrels will be metered upon entering the terminal and stored within four crude oil tanks. The initial four-tank buildout will have a shell capacity of 2.7 MMbbls, with each tank having a shell capacity of 677 Mbbls.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) air permit for EHOT was approved in 2020.

Construction is scheduled to commence in early June 2024, and the tanks and piping laterals are expected to be placed in service in 2026. Once completed, the EHOT facility will provide a flow rate of 930 Mbpd export capabilities.
