Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Terminals Industry in the Western U.S. is about much more than oil. Increasingly popular fuels, such as natural gas liquid (NGL) and clean energy, are finding homes across the region. Industrial Info is tracking nearly $1.3 billion in active terminal projects in the Western U.S., including more than $300 million worth that are nearing or under construction.

The Western U.S. is defined herein as the West Coast region (California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and Alaska), the Midwest region (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota) and the Rocky Mountains region (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming).
The largest terminal under construction in the Western U.S. is Sumitomo Corporation's (Tokyo, Japan) $208 million sulfuric acid terminal in Stockton, California. The facility, which is set to wrap up in second-quarter 2019, will include a 30,000-ton sulfuric acid tank, diluting equipment and loading docks for freight cars, trucks and barges. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Demand for sulfuric acid is rising in California and other agricultural areas, where it is used to improve farmland soil amid water shortages due to drought and wildfires. Sumitomo announced last year that it would be the only terminal on the West Coast to receive sulfuric acid, and the company will seek to sell more than 200,000 tons per year to West Coast customers through subsidiary Sulphuric Acid Trading Company Incorporated (Tampa, Florida), which will run the terminal.
Silver Creek Midstream (Irving, Texas) is at work on a pair of crude oil terminals in Wyoming: the $40 million Gillette North Crude Oil Terminal in Gillette, and the $20 million Midway Crude Oil Terminal near Bill. The facilities will include three 50,000-barrel storage tanks--two in Gillette and one in Bill--as well as manifolds and truck-loading racks. Both terminals will accommodate the planned, 100,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) Iron Horse Pipeline, which will interconnect with the Pony Express Pipeline. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports in the Gillette and Bill projects.
Another project related to Pony Express is in neighboring Colorado, where Tallgrass Energy Partners LP (NYSE:TEP) (Leawood, Kansas) is finishing up a $20 million expansion of its crude oil terminal in Sterling, which sits on a key intersection of the pipeline. The project is set to add 800,000 barrels of storage to the 1.3 million-barrel facility; earlier this month, Tallgrass executives said the company hit a record for average daily throughput on the Pony Express. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Contanda Terminals LLC (Houston, Texas) is seeking permits to expand a facility that handles a different product: low-carbon, cleaner fuels. The company is proposing an estimated, $30 million expansion of its Grays Harbor Terminal in Hoquiam, Washington, to handle biodiesel, renewable diesel, ultra-low sulfur diesel and other clean commodities. The facility currently holds 320,000 barrels of methanol for industrial uses. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Natural gas liquids (NGL) storage is another key market in the U.S. Terminals Industry. Magnum Gas Storage LLC (Salt Lake City, Utah) is weighing its options for an estimated $75 million NGL storage facility near Delta, Utah, that would include two caverns each capable of storing 500,000 to 10 million barrels of propane, butane and iso-butane, depending on customer demand. The facility will have access to mainline rail, interstate highway and pipeline systems. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
The facility is part of Magnum Energy Midstream Holdings LLC's Western Energy Storage and Transportation Header Project (WEST Header Project), a proposed, 650-mile interstate natural gas pipeline designed to run bi-directionally between multiple receipt and delivery points, including storage facilities, in the Western Energy Corridor, according to the company. A non-binding open season kicked off in early June and is set to end August 31.
In addition to these capital projects, Industrial Info is tracking $144 million in inspection, upgrade and maintenance projects in the Western U.S. Terminals Industry.
