ADAMS RESOURCES & ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES VICTORIA EXPRESS PIPELINE CONNECTION

HOUSTON, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: AE) ("Adams" or the "Company") today announces that its subsidiary, Victoria Express Pipeline, L.L.C. ("VEX"), will construct a new pipeline connection to Max Midstream Texas, LLC's ("Max Midstream") recently acquired Upper Gulf Coast Pipeline System.

Currently, the VEX Pipeline System connects the central Eagle Ford Shale near Cuero, TX to the GulfMark Terminals, LLC ("GMT") Cuero terminal facility and to the GMT POV terminal facility at the Port of Victoria, Texas. Max Midstream's Upper Gulf Coast Pipeline System spans points both upstream and downstream of the VEX Pipeline System, providing incremental crude oil supply potential, as well as new market delivery points to VEX customers to the dock at Point Comfort via the Max Midstream system. Potential future connection points via the Max Midstream system include the Kinder Morgan Crude & Condensate pipeline, P66 Gray Oak Pipeline and the Taft Hub near the Port of Corpus Christi.

Greg Mills, President of GulfMark Energy, Inc. commented, "The connection to the Max Midstream system will allow VEX to provide shippers with more diversity of supply, and through the Max Midstream system, access to important additional crude oil markets, which will complement the existing Port of Victoria market which the VEX Pipeline serves today."

"I am pleased to see the GulfMark team continue to execute on the strategic plans surrounding the VEX Pipeline System. This connection with Max Midstream is the next step toward maximizing this asset's potential," said Kevin Roycraft, Adams' Chief Executive Officer and President.

Construction of the new pipeline connection will begin in September 2022, and we anticipate the connection being complete by the end of the year, with new volume anticipated on the pipeline as early as the first quarter to the first half of 2023.

Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. is engaged in crude oil marketing, transportation, terminalling and storage, tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals and dry bulk and recycling and repurposing of off-spec fuels, lubricants, crude oil and other chemicals through its subsidiaries, GulfMark Energy, Inc., Service Transport Company, Victoria Express Pipeline, L.L.C., GulfMark Terminals, LLC, Phoenix Oil, Inc., and Firebird Bulk Carriers, Inc.
