Our consultants helped a consortium develop the business case and financial projections for a unit train centric, industrial transload site to serve production and midstream players in the Oil & Gas sector. Its location promises to lower last-mile logistical costs by centrally positioning key raw materials in the shale basin and enabling greater flexibility in NGL take-away from fractionating sites to market. Truckers hauling frac materials benefit from higher load cycles, and rail operators gain a more efficient system and incremental traffic to offset the structural decline in coal shipments.
