In 2019, the Port exported a record volume of 278 million barrels of crude oil, a 63-percent increase over 2018. Projections indicate that exports could increase to 4.5M barrels per day by 2030, a growth of more than 1600%. In 2020, the Port of Corpus Christi usurped the Port of Houston as the top crude export port in the U.S.
