Why can't I build a ferry terminal anywhere in the city?
It always says either "On top of road" (which it is) or "Must plop on snap point!!!" (everywhere else). This is very weird at least.

You are correct that you need an unlock in your Petrolium HQ (http://ca.ign.com/wikis/simcity/Petroleum_HQ)
Requirements to unlock: Extract 9,600 barrels of oil in a single day
Some tips:
make sure that export is enabled for every trade depot -- it won't be enabled by default.
the oil well is 2,400 barrels/day and each pumpjack is an extra 1,200 barrels/day. So you are going to have to get 6 extra pumps in somehow.
Your problem may be you don't have any connecting cities with ferry docks to bring in tourists from other cities. If this is the case I suspect this could be limiting you but cannot say 100%.

Ferry Terminals must be constructed not on a river shore, but on a shoreline accessing bigger waters.
