Crude-by-rail capacities and the road ahead

As the North American railroads play an ever increasing role in transporting crude oil across the continent - evaluating future capacity, assessing the economic viability, and addressing the logistical challenges are brought into the spotlight.

Will the railroads continue to be an economic mode of crude oil transportation?

As crude oil volumes continue to rise, and available capacities are being utilised, the ever increasing challenges of moving crude oil from wellhead to refinery are creating record price differentials. Producers and refiners want to know the latest in rail investment and construction plans, rail loading and offloading developments, and total connectivity solutions to the North American markets and beyond.

This summit will also have a dedicated session on East and West Coast Export Opportunities for marketing Canadian crude oil to the international markets with a special focus on transport capabilities and connectivity with a European and Asian outlook.

Crude Oil Transportation 2014 will bring together key industry representatives, including E&P companies, freight and rail operators, regulators, and solution providers to create a forum for building information, networking, and seeking business opportunities.

Be a part of the discussion that leads to take-home solutions to the current and critical transportation challenges facing North American oil and gas businesses today. Establish the direction and vision you need from the latest information from top industry performers. Case studies and real results will address the issues.
