Enbridge's Ingleside Energy Center (EIEC) and the South Texas Gateway Terminal (STGT) turn Port Ingleside (UN/LOCODE US YIG) into the largest crude oil export complex in the United States. Located on the La Quinta Channel opposite Corpus Christi on the Texas Gulf Coast, the port loaded roughly 415 million barrels of crude in 2025, averaging 1.13 million barrels per day. EIEC's Phase VII expansion lifted total storage to 20 million barrels, while STGT holds 8.6 million barrels across 20 tanks and handled about 12% of all US crude exports in 2023. Both terminals draw crude from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale via the Gray Oak (over 1,020,000 bpd), Cactus I/II, EPIC and Harvest pipelines. This is a dedicated crude oil export complex, not a container or bulk cargo port — general freight moves through the adjoining Port of Corpus Christi instead. Import and export customs clearance runs through the CBP port of Corpus Christi. Shippers looking for container or breakbulk handling should look to the Port of Corpus Christi or the Port of Houston nearby.
