Yesterday, Savage announced it completed a BNSF Railway Co.-served crude oil terminal near Trenton, N.D.
The terminal will handle crude oil extracted from the Williston Basin and Bakken Shale, and facilitate transportation of the product to key refinery markets, Savage officials said in a prepared statement. The terminal features truck receiving stations, pipeline connections, crude oil tanks and a double loop track designed to accommodate two 118-car unit trains.
“The terminal adds crude-by-rail transportation to the area’s existing pipeline capacity to maximize the options producers have to get crude to refineries,” said Nathan Savage, Savage’s senior vice president of business development.
BNSF will deliver crude oil from the terminal to East Coast, West Coast and Gulf Coast markets.
“Rail provides a more flexible, long-term, economical option to ship crude oil to destination markets throughout the … coasts and along the Mississippi River,” said Dave Garin, BNSF’s group vice president-industrial products.
The terminal is designed for future expansions of trackage and storage capacity, Savage officials said.
