Enterprise Crude Houston (ECHO) storage terminal is a terminal located in Harris County, Texas and is owned and operated by Enterprise Products Partners L.P. The initial phase of the Enterprise Crude Houston (ECHO) storage terminal was completed in October 2012 and the facility is now receiving deliveries of crude oil. The first three tanks total 750,000 barrels of storage capacity. The next phase of the ECHO terminal expansion includes the addition of up to 900,000 barrels of storage capacity, which could be in service as early as the first quarter of 2014.
