据原油新闻2021年4月6日休斯敦报道，美国初创企业麦克斯中游公司（Max Midstream）创始人兼总裁托德·爱德华兹4月6日在一次采访中表示，该公司计划在5月初将其第一批原油货物运往西北欧，届时该公司将在德克萨斯州建立一个新的原油出口中心。
爱德华兹表示，麦克斯中游公司将在4月底从其位于卡尔霍恩港的新原油出口终端向德克萨斯州的亚瑟港发送一批测试货物，然后鹰福特等级原油将在5月初开始出口。
麦克斯中游公司的总体目标是在休斯敦和科珀斯克里斯蒂之间建立一个原油出口中心，那里现有的船舶运输很少，卡尔霍恩港可以主要把重心放在向欧洲运输原油上，而规模更大的竞争对手则将大部分原油运往亚洲。麦克斯中游公司最近在日内瓦开设了一个贸易办事处。
爱德华兹说，“这很令人兴奋，我们已经取得了很多成就。我们预计5月的第一周将向西北欧洲出口第一批德州原油。”
消息人士说，在麦哲伦东休斯敦终端，有少量的鹰福特原油(API度为45)以每桶对WTI折扣50美分的价格出售。消息人士称，供应量最高可达50万桶，由于草案限制，这些鹰福特原油将装上巴拿马型油轮。

Max Midstream to start Texas crude exports in May
Startup Max Midstream plans to put a new Texas crude export hub on the map in early-May when it ships its first cargo that is bound for northwestern Europe, founder and President Todd Edwards said in an interview.
Max will send a test shipment in late-April from its new crude export terminal at the Port of Calhoun to Port Arthur, Texas, and then exports of Eagle Ford-grade crude oil will begin in May, said Edwards.
The overall goal is establishing an export hub -- between Houston and Corpus Christi -- where there is little existing ship traffic and the Port of Calhoun can focus primarily on crude shipments to Europe, while larger competitors send most of their oil to Asia. Max recently opened a Geneva-based trading office.
"It's exciting," Edwards said. "We've accomplished a lot. We expect our first export to Northwest Europe in the first week of May."
A small cargo of Eagle Ford crude with an API of 45 degrees loading at Port Calhoun was heard offered at a 50 cents/b discount to WTI at the Magellan East Houston terminal. The offer was for up to 500,000 barrels and will load on Panamax-sized tanker due to draft restrictions, sources said.
