What is BWTX?
Phillips 66 Tetney Monobuoy, Humber Estuary, UK
An offshore deepwater port for crude oil export including new pipeline infrastructure, an operations facility and two, offshore single point mooring buoys
Located approximately 21 nautical miles offshore east of the entrance of the Port of Corpus Christi
Pipelines, opertions station and two single point mooring buoys
Construct and operate an offshore deepwater port providing safe and environmentally sustainable solutions for the export of abundant domestic crude oil supplies from major shale basins to global markets

Emergency Response Readiness
Operational Safetyand Security
• Demarcations of operation area Safety Zones and area to be avoided
• SPM buoys fitted with sound, light and radar beacon• Two licensed Mooring Masters onboard• Two dedicated support vessels during loading
operations at each buoy• Support vessels equipped as emergency responders
and fitted accordingly as spill response and firefighting capable
• Mooring Masters and support vessel crew trained as First Responders
• 24/7 Monitoring Control Room• Onsite Incident Management Team• Crisis Support Team in Houston• Dedicated Houston Emergency Operations Center• Integrated Contingency Plan• Unified Command Training and Drills• Executive Support
We understand that public approval depends on our ability to work in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner.
Economic BenefitsThe Coastal Bend community is a key hub for domestic energyindependence. Energy projects strengthen state economies across the region by expanding transportation infrastructure and market access for the domestic energy producers.
Energy industry investments create jobs during both the construction and operational phases. Local economies will see long-term benefits from property tax revenues.
Onshore and marine management systems and response plans will be in place to mitigate potential risks such as allision/collision, oil spill and/or acts of nature (hurricanes, tropical storms or expected/unexpected weather systems) during operation.
The response plan will identify strategies, tactics and resources for all developed risk scenarios.
Through robust operating procedures, training and added mechanical safeguards, the facilities will be operated to a high standard of safety and environmental integrity.
