Flint Hills Resources is adding fuel storage and transportation capacity to meet growing Texas fuel demand. The company has plans for several projects — near Bastrop and in Austin and Waco — to better serve area gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel markets.
The firm also is working on plans to add new fuel storage and truck-loading facilities at its Waco site to meet the market demand in the Waco and Temple areas.
Flint Hills, which owns a crude oil refining complex in Corpus Christi, pipelines, and fuel terminals, is building a new storage and distribution facility in Bastrop County, Texas, to supply jet fuel to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
Once the Bastrop facility is operating in 2006, the company plans to use the jet fuel tanks at its east Austin terminal for additional gasoline and diesel storage, and will explore expanding the terminal's truck-loading rack capacity to meet growing demand.
The company will also increase the amount of gasoline and diesel it carries on its pipeline by 30,000 barrels per day to serve the Central Texas markets.
