dzԹWe are excited to announce our first contract to export US crude oil, which to our knowledge may be the first export cargo of US crude oil from the Gulf Coast in almost 40 years,dzԹ said A.J. dzԹJimdzԹ Teague, Chief Operating Officer of EnterprisedzԹs General Partner. dzԹEnterprisedzԹs integrated system enabled us to quickly respond to customer demand for US crude oil by international markets.dzԹ

dzԹWe applaud the actions of Congress and President Obama to remove the ban on US crude oil exports,dzԹ stated Teague. dzԹThis law facilitates economic growth and job creation for the US as well as enhances our national and energy security. This action provides new markets to domestic producers, especially producers of light crude oil, and will provide global markets with supply diversification.dzԹ
