Chevron has issued a notice to shippers that its Empire terminal in Louisiana won’t accept crude nominated for delivery to Crescent Midstream’s Bonefish Pipeline, RBN Energy LLC reports.
The notice comes nearly one month after the Bonefish system was shut July 27 when a leak from the system’s pump station in Raceland caused some crude to seep into Bayou LaFourche.
As RBN Energy reports, the Empire facility is the delivery point for pipes connected to oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico. In a statement, Chevron said its Empire Terminal is operating and accepting shipments from the gulf. There are connections available to points further north. The barrels arriving at Empire are typically traded as Heavy Louisiana Sweet and South Louisiana Intermediate crudes.
