Adding to its growing network of transload terminals across North America, an energy service/transport company has announced plans that are expected to unlock opportunities for oil producers and refiners in northeastern Utah. Savage issued a press release on Wednesday, announcing their plans to develop a new crude-by-rail transload terminal in Carbon County to connect supply chains for transporting Uinta Basin crude oil from wellheads to refinery markets across North America. The new terminal will unload Uinta Basin yellow and black wax crude from tanker trucks into two heated tanks to be loaded into unit trains of insulated rail cars for delivery to end-market destinations. “Developing a new Savage transload terminal in Wellington will allow Uinta Basin producers to increase their production and access new markets without the logistical challenges of long-haul trucking or waiting on other logistical solutions requiring long lead times,” shares Jason Ray, president of Savage Infrastructure. “We believe this transload terminal will be the most efficient and cost-advantaged terminal in the area for producers and also for refineries seeking Uinta Basin crude.” The Savage Wellington Transload Terminal will connect to both Union Pacific and BNSF railroads which means customers will have access to the national rail network and every refinery center in the United States. Evans Family Media will have a second news story on this topic on Friday.
