October 10, 2025 [Pipeline & Gas Journal]- Energy Transfer and FourPoint Resources have entered a strategic agreement to expand the Price River Terminal in Wellington, Utah, a project that will double its crude export capacity and enhance takeaway options for producers in the Uinta Basin.

The expansion includes a new continuous loop rail track, a load rack capable of handling 140,000 barrels per day, and nine new loading arms. Additional improvements will include four new truck offload lanes, upgraded pump capacity, and a heated storage tank with 140,000 barrels of shell capacity. Completion is expected by Q4 2026, pending approvals.

“With this expansion, FourPoint will secure capacity totaling 50,000 barrels of oil per day at the Price River Terminal,” said Tripp Kerr, Vice President of Marketing at FourPoint. “Energy Transfer’s commitment to this project and reliable flow assurance will be critical to our growth strategy in the basin.”

The project coincides with the launch of “American Premium Uinta (APU)” crude, a rebranded version of the basin’s high-quality waxy crude previously known as Uinta Wax. “This terminal expansion strengthens our ability to deliver that product consistently and at scale – supporting energy independence and fueling the production of American-made goods with American crude,” said George Solich, CEO and Chairman of FourPoint.

The Uinta Basin remains one of the few U.S. producing regions positioned for growth, offering strong well performance and competitive costs, according to Eric Eichler, FourPoint COO.
