and delivers it to Chevron Pipe Line Company's Forked Island Terminal located on the Intercoastal Waterway

load at a rate of 3,500 barrels per hour and unload at a rate of 2,400 barrels per
hour. Tank trucks can be unloaded at a rate of 260 barrels per hour.
The terminal offers short and long-term storage services for customers. The

The Forked Island facility can ship oil and condensate by barge to markets
along the Gulf Coast. As a major barge loading operation in Southwestern
Louisiana, the Forked Island Terminal is well positioned to serve producers
