Crude oil exports from the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) rose to just over 4 MMb/d last week, roughly 200 Mb/d above the 2025 year-to-date (YTD) average.
The largest export region in the Gulf by volume - Corpus Christi - is home to Gibson's South Texas Gateway (STG) terminal. As discussed in our Crude Voyager Report, loadings from STG increased 240% to record its highest weekly volume on record of 1.1 MMb/d (far right blue bar on chart below), more than triple the volume seen over either of the prior two weeks. Seven cargoes were lifted from STG, with Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) loading activity up from just one VLCC per week to four.
