On Friday, Bridger Logistics L.L.C. announced its Bridger Transfer Services L.L.C. subsidiary marked the first unit train shipment of Bakken Shale crude oil from a facility in Berthold, N.D., which is served by BNSF Railway Co.
The primary shipper from Enbridge Rail L.P.'s new rail facility, Bridger Transfer plans to move unit trains at a rate of one per week, or 10,000 barrels per day.
The company expects to continue transporting crude oil as the exclusive shipper at the newly constructed facility until the project's second phase becomes operational in first-quarter 2013. Bridger Transfer then plans to increase its shipping capacity to three trains per week, or 30,000 barrels per day.
"Partnering with Enbridge on this project … offers our logistics customers greater access to premium markets, gives Enbridge the commitment they need to make these important investments in infrastructure, and provides Bridger's customers in North Dakota with another way to export the ever-increasing production in the Bakken," said James Ballengee, Bridger Logistics chairman and chief executive officer, in a prepared statement.
