Facility
US Strategic Petroleum Reserve — Big Hill, Texas (Reference: Same Geology)
Note: This facility is a US government (DOE) asset, not Enterprise-operated. Listed here for geographic context: the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) sites at Big Hill TX, Bryan Mound TX (near Freeport), West Hackberry LA, and Bayou Choctaw LA use the SAME salt dome geology as the commercial LPG storage hubs. The SPR stores ~600M barrels of crude oil in Gulf Coast salt caverns. The proximity of commercial LPG storage (Mont Belvieu, 30 miles from Big Hill) and the SPR crude storage illustrates that the Gulf Coast salt dome belt is the single most strategically important energy storage geology in the United States.
