Large Expansion of Crude-By-Rail Facility Planned for Dore, North Dakota -- Expansion To Increase Capacity 7X -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

According to the on-line edition of the Williston Herald, Musket Corporation, Oklahoma City, has announced a large expansion of its crude-by-rail (CBR) facility at Dore, McKenzie County, North Dakota.

I think I first blogged about this facility at Dore, back in May, 2010. It seems like a very, very long time ago. A lot has happened in one year.  Search "Dore" at this website to read more about the facility.

The expansion will increase its outbound capacity from 10,000 bbls of oil per day to 70,000 bbls per day.  It is expected that the facility will be fully operational by 1Q12.

Musket signed a long-term agreement with Banner Pipeline Company to deliver oil to the facility.

In light of the Bakken Pipeline project scaling back, this is a significant development.
