The new terminal would serve as a hub for receiving crude by truck and pipeline.

Rangeland Energy of Sugar Land, Texas, is planning to build a bulk storage plant and terminal on the rail spur on the east side of Epping.

The company is acquiring 274 acres for a facility with four components: a truck station, a tank farm, rail loading facility and an outbound pump station.

From there, the oil would be shipped out in two ways

• Through a 21-mile pipeline, the COLT connector, running east to the Beaver Lodge facility
• By rail to the Gulf Coast

The facility is expected to be operational by the end of the year.

Epping is located about 14 miles northwest of Williston, although that distance is decreasing as Williston gets bigger. In the 2000 census, Epping  had a population of 79.
