德克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂市——位于德克萨斯州墨西哥湾沿岸中型城市市中心的科珀斯克里斯蒂港务局总部周围悠闲的腹地，掩盖了该港口作为美国最大的能源出口门户和美国最大的能源出口门户的显着转变。总收入吨位。

抛开这些顶级排名不谈，科珀斯是一座轻松的城市，距离休斯顿 208 英里车程，可能因德克萨斯州水族馆、南德克萨斯艺术博物馆和墨西哥湾沿岸海滩等众多旅游景点而闻名。

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The laid-back hinterlands surrounding the headquarters of the Corpus Christi Port Authority, located downtown in the midsize Texas Gulf Coast city, belie the port’s remarkable transformation as both the U.S.’ largest energy export gateway and in total revenue tonnage.

Those top rankings aside, Corpus is an easy-going city a 208-mile drive away from Houston, likely more known for any number of tourist attractions from its Texas State Aquarium and the Art Museum of South Texas to its Gulf Coast beaches.

But in the background of the quiet Corpus downtown, the city is energized—especially as it relates to the movement of oil, gas and other commodities.
