Let the era of U.S. oil exports begin.
ConocoPhillips Co. and NuStar Energy LP on Thursday plan to finish loading what will be the first tanker of freely traded U.S. crude oil in 40 years.
The companies have jumped ahead of Enterprise Products Partners LP, which said last week that it would load the first cargo of American crude in Houston during the first week of January.
It has been less than two weeks since President Barack Obama signed legislation lifting the long-standing ban on exporting U.S. oil., which was put into place during the 1970s.
