Strange as it may seem to purchase oil from afar when so much crude is produced nearby, there’s every reason to believe other refineries will soon follow 26,000-barrel-a-day Kern Oil & Refining’s lead,
Tesoro Corp. said it was spending $50 million to build new rail loading and unloading facilities at its 120,000 bpd refinery in Anacortes, Wash. The upgrade would allow it to receive up to 30,000 bpd of North Dakota crude — up from 1,000 to 2,000 bpd now. (The project aimed to cut Tesoro’s use of Alaska North Slope crude. In March, construction began and Tesoro ordered about 800 rail cars, which it said can accommodate another 10,000 bpd of Bakken crude.)
