Bridger Logistics Announces Long-Term Rail Contract with Eddystone Rail Company Supplying Crude Oil to Eastern Markets on the Delaware River
Contract Enhances Bridger's Market Options for Berthold Rail Export Capacity
DALLAS, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridger Logistics, LLC, through its subsidiary Bridger Transfer Services, LLC ("Bridger"), today announced that it has executed a long-term agreement with Eddystone Rail Company, LLC ("Eddystone Rail") to through-put seven unit trains per week—or approximately 80,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil—into barges for delivery to East Coast refineries. Bridger will bring crude oil to the Philadelphia area from unit trains that will primarily originate out of the Enbridge Rail (North Dakota) L.P. unit train loading facility in Berthold, North Dakota. Eddystone Rail is a joint venture company owned 75 percent by Enbridge Rail (Philadelphia) L.L.C., a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., and 25 percent by Canopy Prospecting, Inc.
Through this agreement, Bridger will expand its market footprint in the East Coast with a new crude oil called "Philly Light."
"We will be serving as Eddystone Rail Company's exclusive Phase I customer," said James Ballengee, Bridger Chairman and CEO. "Access to premium Brent-based markets in Philadelphia offers our customers an enhanced portfolio of market options. Our commitment supports the Eddystone rail project, and it is the perfect complement to our long-term rail commitment at Enbridge's Berthold, North Dakota rail loading facility."
"By moving barrels through the North Dakota System, to our Berthold rail loading facility and on to our joint venture Eddystone rail terminal on the Delaware River, Enbridge is offering shippers near-term market optionality for Bakken light oil," said Stephen J. Wuori, President, Liquids Pipelines, Enbridge Inc. "This rail solution complements our $6.2 billion Light Oil Market Access program, which will enhance pipeline access to high-value markets for increasing light oil production in the Bakken region."
"Bridger's lead in committing resources to the East Coast market through Eddystone is an important event for the future supply of cost-effective domestic crude oil to East Coast refiners," said Jack Galloway, President of Canopy Prospecting Inc.
