Jefferson Energy, Aramco Trading Americas Execute Agreement for Bi-Directional Flow on Jefferson Southern Star Pipeline; Will Provide Access from Marketlink Pipeline to Jefferson Energy’s Beaumont Terminal

NEW YORK, June 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (NASDAQ: FIP) (the “Company” or “FTAI Infrastructure”) today announced that a subsidiary in its Jefferson Terminal segment (“Jefferson Energy”) has executed a multi-year terminal services agreement with Aramco Trading Americas LLC. The agreement includes the future receipt of new crude oil volumes at Jefferson Energy’s Main Terminal in Beaumont, Texas by the addition of bi-directional flow capability to the 14-mile, 24” Jefferson Southern Star Pipeline, currently in service for movements of crude oil from Jefferson Energy’s Main Terminal to the Motiva Port Neches Terminal. The newly bi-directional Jefferson Southern Star Pipeline, with 400,000 bbl/day of capacity, will be directly connected to the Motiva-TC Energy Port Neches Link, opening up Jefferson Energy’s Main Terminal to crude oil volumes from the TC Energy Marketlink Pipeline System, a 750,000 bbl/day crude oil pipeline from Cushing, OK to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Jefferson Energy’s Main Terminal is a 6.2 MMbbl storage terminal and multi-modal transloading facility situated on a 250-acre site on the Neches River, handling crude oil and refined products with pipeline connectivity to the 630,000 bbl/day Motiva Port Arthur Refinery and the 630,000 bbl/day ExxonMobil Beaumont Refinery. Jefferson Energy’s Main Terminal has three docks capable of handling barges, Aframax, and Suezmax vessels for inbound/outbound product movements, and over 23 miles of rail track, with four separate unit train rail loading systems. Significant heating and blending capabilities for heavy crude oil, including Uinta Basin wax, uniquely position Jefferson Energy’s Main Terminal as a premier multimodal facility in the U.S. Gulf Coast.

“We are very pleased to work with Aramco Trading Americas to develop a customized package of terminal services responsive to Aramco Trading Americas’ needs,” said Ken Nicholson, Chief Executive Officer of FTAI Infrastructure. “In particular, we look forward to the enhanced service optionality that will be opened up by bi-directional flow on the Jefferson Southern Star Pipeline. This important project will enable Jefferson Energy’s Main Terminal customers to access an additional major pipeline system for light crude, along with Jefferson Energy’s established connectivity to Delek’s Paline Pipeline. The light crude markets made readily accessible to our customers by this project will further unlock the potential represented by Jefferson Energy’s Uinta Basin wax crude blending and handling capabilities, creating value for our customer base in handling this unique, highly sought after crude oil.”
