Early last Monday a unit train derailed in Saskatchewan Canada releasing 1.5 million liters (396,000 gallons) into the environment and ignited a blaze that could be seen for miles.&nbsp;<strong>Initial reports were that the train was hauling crude in 117R and CPC1232 cars. However, later reports confirmed by Transport Canada that the Conoco Phillips train was actually DOT-117J\u2019s, the safest car on the track. Luckily, there were no injuries in the crash<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to the accident, Transport Canada ordered that trains carrying 20 or more cars with hazardous goods slow down to 20 miles an hour in metropolitan areas and 25 mph outside of metropolitan areas for 30 days. The speed restrictions took place midnight Friday of this past week. \u201cI am very concerned about the derailments of railway cars containing dangerous goods in the past 12 months. That is why I am issuing an immediate order to slow trains carrying significant quantities of dangerous goods on federally regulated railway tracks across Canada,\u201d said Transport Minister, Marc Garneau on Thursday of last week. CP agreed with the Minister of Transport\u2019s decision citing safety as its number one priority and the safe movement of commodities through its network. What is unclear is if these reduced speed limits are also on CP and CN track owned in the U.S. The ramifications in the immediate term and long term are significant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CP and CN are going to be hugely effected and the fluidity of their network in question is at risk.&nbsp;<strong>CN, in an announcement, said that they will comply with the order but will issue an embargo with permits on TIH, Crude Oil and propone traffic. The embargo took effect yesterday and will continue until further notice<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Costs to class ones will rise significantly during the period of lower train speeds. Lower train speeds mean more engineers are needed to move the same train from point A to point B. Twice the amount with going \u00bd the speed that is typical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shippers are disrupted and their costs are going to rise significantly. With moving half the speed, it is going to take double the time to get product from point A to point B, meaning you need double the cars to move the same volume. In effect, you now have doubled your transportation costs making crude by rail seemingly uneconomic in today\u2019s low crude price environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refiners and export markets that are expecting supply in a timely manner, cannot count on it being consistent and reliable, as competition is expected to open up to water borne vessels from Russia to fill the heavy crude gap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trains moving in manifest service will have to be closely monitored to prevent exceeding 19 hazardous cars. We don\u2019t want 20 hazmat cars holding up the speed of an entire train disrupting other supply chains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The big question is: what is the future of crude by rail and regulations that follow? The fact that the cars involved in this accident were 117J\u2019s the safest car on the track, where do we go from here in regards to crude by rail? What about Alberta\u2019s crude by rail program and the producers in Canada set to serve that market? Another shot in the arm for Alberta just as their crude by rail program gets under way. Stay tuned to PFL we are monitoring this situation very carefully.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"> Crude Derailment in Saskatchewan <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"764\" height=\"431\" src=\"http:\/\/pflpetroleum.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/02102020-Crude-fire.png\" alt=\"Crude Derailment in Saskatchewan\" class=\"wp-image-141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pflpetroleum.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/02102020-Crude-fire.png 764w, https:\/\/pflpetroleum.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/02102020-Crude-fire-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/pflpetroleum.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/02102020-Crude-fire-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source:CBC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\n\nIts official \u2013 pipelines in the Permian are now overbuilt for hauling crude oil.
