Eighty-Eight Oil LLC opened its new oil transloading terminal on Tuesday in Fort Laramie, Wyo.
The
terminal consists of three loop tracks, each capable of accommodating
100-car unit trains. The initial loading capacity is 80,000 barrels per
day with the potential to expand, Eighty-Eight Oil said.
The rail
terminal will export new oil production from the Powder River Basin. It
will also connect pipelines transporting Canadian crude to BNSF
Railway's mainline near Eighty-Eight Oil's existing crude oil terminal
in Guernsey, about 13 miles away.
The Guernsey terminal has two
million barrels of storage and receives crude oil from Butte Pipeline,
Belle Fourche Pipeline, Platte Pipeline, and the Rocky Mountain Pipeline
System.
Eighty-Eight Oil said the transloading terminal is the
first one capable of loading multiple crude types including those from
the Williston Basin, the Powder River Basin, Southwest Wyoming, Big Horn
Basin and Canada.
