Federal officials have temporarily suspended their review of an offshore crude-oil export terminal proposed by Houston pipeline company Enterprise Products Partners and Canadian pipeline operator Enbridge.

Citing unanswered questions from the companies about the project description and a list of affected landowners, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Maritime Administration said Monday it stopped the clock on drafting an environmental impact statement for the Sea Port Oil Terminal.

Enterprise and Enbridge hope to build an underwater pipeline and an offshore export terminal on an oil storage tank farm in Brazoria County. The terminal would accommodate supertankers that can haul 2 million barrels of crude oil in a single shipment.
