The additional terminal provides expansion potential for both the company's Petroleum Logistics fuels business as well as its LPG export capabilities. The proximity of the Patriot Terminal to Targa's petroleum logistics business and to its LPG exports facilities also offers cost effective future options to meet growing customers and market demands. Further plans for clean fuels and LPG export activity are also being developed and could substantially increase growth capital expenditures over time.
