Crown Point Announces Closure of Cruz del Sur offshore oil loading facilities in Tierra del Fuego
10 Mars 2022 - 12:46AM
(TSX-V:CWV): Crown Point Energy Inc. (“Crown Point” or the
“Company”) announces that it has received notice that the offshore
oil loading facilities located at Cruz del Sur, Tierra del Fuego
have been closed, effective immediately.
YPF, operator of the Cruz del Sur oil storage
and offshore loading facilities, has given notice that the offshore
loading facility has been closed due to technical difficulties. YPF
had intended to decommission the offshore loading facilities in
July 2022, but has now decided to cease offshore loading operations
immediately.
Crown Point, together with its joint venture
partners and YPF, have been building a 23 km 6 inch oil pipeline to
connect the Cruz del Sur oil storage facility and the San Martin
oil field with the Total Austral operated Rio Cullen marine
terminal, in anticipation of the Cruz del Sur offshore loading
facility closure in the second half of 2022. This project will be
accelerated. However, in the interim Crown Point together with its
joint venture partners are arranging to export oil by truck to the
Enap refinery at San Gregorio, Chile and to the Total Austral
operated Rio Cullen marine terminal in Tierra del Fuego. The sales
price at both San Gregorio and Rio Cullen is indexed to the Brent
oil price.
