The Reata Rail-to-Marine Terminal is located in Port Arthur, Texas, 90 miles east of Houston, Texas, on an approximately 50 acre tract of land (Phase I) that is adjacent to and within approximately 1,300’ of the Port of Port Arthur’s deep water docks. The docks are situated directly on the Sabine-Neches Waterway, the 3rd largest waterway in the nation transporting more than 125 million tons of cargo each year and located approximately 19 NM from the Gulf of Mexico. Phase II of the project will increase Reata’s footprint an additional estimated 50 acres.
The terminal is being developed by Reata Fuels Marketing Company and will be supported by the Kansas City Southern Rail system with the following:
- Installation of over 7,200′ of new rail
- State of the art offloading system.
- Development of a tank farm with 1.6 million barrels of storage capacity in Phase I and another 1.0 million barrels in Phase II.
- Processing and blending facility will be developed in Phase II.
- Reata’s tank farm will be connected by pipeline to marine berths 1, 2 and 4 at the Port of Port Arthur’s dock.
- A 6-station truck rack loading and unloading system capable of handling over 50 trucks per day.
- Direct access to Interstate 10 via Texas Highway 73 and the Gulf lntracoastal Waterway.
The terminal’s primary asset is its location where it is strategically situated in the center of the largest petroleum refining and processing plant capacity locations in the Gulf Coast with over 40% of total U.S. petroleum refining capacity and direct access to deep-water marine facilities.
