HOUSTON, June 23 -- Plains All American Pipeline LP, Houston, plans to build a crude oil terminal with 2.9 million bbl of storage capacity at St. James, La. The $70 million facility is expected to be operational in first quarter 2007.
A 100-acre site initially will accommodate seven storage tanks, each having a capacity of 170,000-560,000 bbl of oil. Like the company's Cushing, Okla., terminal, the St. James facility will include a manifold and header system to facilitate receipts from and deliveries to connecting pipelines at their maximum operating capacities. Plains said the terminal will be expandable.
