With only 14,000 tank cars meeting the proposed rail car safety standards and 1.7 million b/d of additional crude oil supplies from Western Canada forecast to be available by 2020, there are obvious needs for investment and expansion to comply with new regulations to ensure increasing amounts of product can be transported.

“ENSURING SAFETY WHILE MITIGATING THE OPERATIONAL AND COST IMPACT OF COMPLIANCE”

The key for crude by rail transporters now is to make sure safety is maintained and requirements met, while mitigating the operational and cost impact of compliance.

Therefore it is vital to the country’s Tank Car Manufacturers, E&P companies, Transloaders, Class 1 Railroads and refineries that the future landscape of the regulations is made clear to allow plans to be made for future expansion whilst practicing safe processes. It is in the industry’s best interest that the cost of compliance is kept at the lowest possible price and that all options for strategic development are investigated.

For this reason, the Crude by Rail Canada, Tank Car & Railroad Safety 2014 Summit, has been purposely designed to bring together speakers from every key stakeholder group, including E&Ps, crude shippers, railroad operators, transloaders, rail car manufacturers, refiners and regulatory bodies to help stakeholders.

While many events cover crude by rail in general, there are no others that address purely the details, costs and impacts of crude by rail safety; arguably the biggest topic affecting the Canadian crude by rail industry at present.

REASONS TO ATTEND:

COST- IMPACT FOCUSED:

Not only will speakers address the

latest regulatory changes, but also the

commercial impact that these changes

will have on the supply chain, including

rail car capacity and availability, rail road

congestion and crude testing costs, to

allow the integration of changes into rail

economics and planning

CAPACITY FOCUSED:

Presentations on all topics in the agenda

will be geared towards ensuring crude

by rail takeaway capacity is available

following regulatory changes to minimize

disruption to crude marketing

REGULATORY FOCUSED:

This conference will bring together the

major regulatory bodies whose decisions

can be the make or break of crude by

rail, including DOT US and TC, to discuss

their plans and examine opportunities for

cross border harmonization to ease the

crude by rail process

Page 3: Crude By Rail Canada

RAIL CAR REGULATIONS - CHANGES & IMPACTSWill clarify the new regulations set by both TC and US DOT regarding both tank car design and railroads to identify the impacts that these changes will have on costs and capacity in the supply chain.
