A new loading facility at a rail terminal envisioned as the Canadian starting point of the Keystone XL oil pipeline was announced Aug. 6, the third oil-by-rail venture in Canada to be unveiled in the past few weeks. Houston-based rail logistics developer U.S. Development Group LLC and Gibson Energy Inc., a Calgary, Alberta-based midstream energy company, said in a news release that they have partnered to build the train-loading facility at Gibson's Hardisty Terminal near Edmonton, Alberta, to accommodate more oil-by-rail shipments and "pipeline connectivity." "The development of the Hardisty Rail Terminal provides our customers with more optionality to facilitate crude oil movements across North America," Gibson Senior Vice President of Operations Rick Wise said in the release.
