CBR Ending For US East Coast Refiners -- April 21, 2017

DAPL is flowing.

Largest refiner on US east coast will no longer take rail deliveries of Bakken oil.

Good, bad, or indifferent with regard to one's thoughts about pipelines, think about  it: 425,000 bopd that used to be by rail through Minneapolis, Chicago, etc., will no longer go through those cities.

  • just five rail deliveries in May; no rail deliveries in June 
  • recently getting one unit train per day; one unit train: 75,000 bopd
  • rail volumes in the Bakken peaked at 420,000 bopd
  • DAPL begins interstate crude oil delivery May 14, 2017
  • 1,172-miles long
