(VLR) In recent years, the Port of Corpus Christi in Texas has emerged as one of the most important hubs on the global crude oil trade map. Since the U.S. crude oil export ban was lifted in 2015, this port has rapidly developed, becoming a leading center for crude oil refining and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in the United States. This growth has had a significant impact not only on the local economy but also on reshaping the global energy market.
