Gennaio dovrebbe vedere le prime esportazioni di Shale Gas, nel mentre tolto l'embargo alle esportazioni di petrolio ecco i primi contratti:
A Swiss trader of everything from gasoline to sugar is the first overseas buyer to export U.S. shale oil since a 40-year ban on most shipments was lifted less than two weeks ago.
Vitol Group, which owns stakes in refineries from Belgium to the Persian Gulf to Australia, has agreed to buy two cargoes of U.S.-sourced crude, the first of which will be ready to sail as soon as Thursday. ConocoPhillips will supply the first tanker-load, made up of crude and a type of ultra-light oil known as condensate from wells in the Eagle Ford Shale formation in south Texas, according to a statement by the Houston-based company.
The shipment was being loaded at NuStar Energy LP’s Corpus Christi, Texas, terminal according to the statement. That follows on last week’s deal by Vitol to buy a separate600,000-barrel shipment of domestic crude that will load from Enterprise Products Partners LP’s Houston terminal during the first week of January. The producer of the oil for the first cargo was not identified.
Vitol operates or holds interests in refineries with a combined processing capacity of 350,000 barrels a day, according to the Switzerland-based company’s website. The light, low-sulfur type of crude abundant in U.S. shale fields is favored by many European refineries that aren’t equipped to handle heavier grades of oil.
