Summary of the License Application For the purposes of this application, the proposed Bluewater Deepwater Port Project is described in three distinguishable segments by locality to include the onshore components, the inshore components, and the offshore components.
Onshore components associated with the proposed Bluewater project are defined as those components on the landward side of the western Redfish Bay Mean High Tide MHT line, located in San Patricio and Aransas Counties, Texas. The onshore project components include:
Approximately 22.13 miles of two new parallel 30-inch-diameter crude oil pipelines extending from a planned multi-use terminal located south of the City of Taft in San Patricio County, Texas.
The planned Multi-Use Terminal will connect to multiple inbound and outbound crude oil pipelines. Two of those outbound pipelines are the proposed pipeline infrastructure that will extend to the inshore pipelines, which connect to the proposed operation facility located on Harbor Island described below. One water tank will be constructed at the Multi-Use Terminal to flush the offshore pipelines running to the Single Point Mooring SPM buoys described below.
Inshore components associated with the proposed Bluewater Deepwater Port Project are defined as those components located between the western Redfish Bay MHT line and the MHT line located at the interface of San Jose Island and the Gulf of Mexico. Inshore project components include:
Approximately 7.29 miles of two new 30-inch-diameter crude oil pipelines connecting to the onshore facility, an approximately 12-acre operations station and a connection to the offshore pipeline. The onshore pipeline would be located within San Patricio County, Texas and Nueces County, Texas and a proposed operations facility would be located on Harbor Island in Nueces County, Texas.
The operations facility located on Harbor Island will include approximately 12 acres of land and house the necessary infrastructure to support the transport of crude oil through the proposed pipeline infrastructure to the deepwater port for the loading of moored vessels. The facility would consist of pig launchers/
receivers, meters and valves, operations building, and a communications facility, but no crude oil storage.

Project are defined as those components located seaward of the MHT line located at the interface of San Jose Island and the Gulf of Mexico. The offshore project components include:
Approximately 26.76 miles of two new 30-inch-diameter crude oil pipelines extending from the shoreline crossing at the interface of San Jose Island to the offshore Bluewater Deepwater Port Project for crude oil delivery to Single Point Mooring SPM
buoys.
Two SPMs in Outer Continental Shelf Matagorda Island Area TX4 lease blocks 698 and 699, approximately 15
nautical miles 17.26 statute miles off the coast of San Patricio County, Texas in a water depth of approximately 89
feet.
A catenary anchor leg mooring CALM system for each SPM buoy connected to a pipeline end manifold PLEM system, mooring hawsers, floating hoses, and submarine hoses to allow for the loading of crude oil to vessels moored at the proposed deepwater port. The SPM buoy system will be permanently moored with a symmetrically arranged six-leg anchor dual chain configuration extending to twelve 72-inch-diameter pile anchors installed on the seafloor.
Each of the proposed SPM buoy systems will consist of inner and outer cylindrical shells subdivided into twelve equal-sized watertight radial compartments. A rotating table will be affixed to the SPM buoy and allow for the connection of moored vessels to the SPM buoy system via mooring hawsers.
Two floating hoses equipped with marine break-away couplings will be utilized for the transfer of crude oil from the SPM buoy systems to the moored vessel. Floating hoses will be equipped with strobe lights at 15-foot intervals for detection at night and low-light conditions.
