Murex LLC and Cetane Energy LLC agreed to improvements at their Cetane crude oil transloading terminal in Carlsbad, N.M., to double the facility’s operational capacity. The facility will begin making improvements immediately to allow for a loading capacity of 40,000 barrels of crude oil per day by July 2015.
Originally, Murex and Cetane installed 40,000 barrels of crude oil storage, 12 tank truck offloading stations and more than 18,000 feet of rail track at the facility, which shipped its first unit train on Dec. 18, 2013. Planned improvements include additional on-site storage, rail track enhancements and increased capacity for truck offloading and rail car loading.
“Murex and Cetane have worked closely with the BNSF Railway and Southwest Railroad to convert Cetane Energy from a 25 car per day manifest terminal into a unit train capable facility, allowing for the shipment of up to two unit trains per week,” said Robert Wright, president of Murex. “The additional investment into the facility will allow us to ship four to five unit trains per week. We believe this facility offers a unique, long-term and economical takeaway opportunity for Permian Basin crude oil production.”
