For example, a rail car may not be able to pull right up outside a refinery and unload. This happens when one form of transportation cannot take the shipment the entire way. The term “transloading” is used to describe the process of transferring a shipment from one form of transportation to another. A situation like this may require more than one form of transportation. However, because no refineries or pipelines exist in many of these areas, companies have had to find ways to transport the oil themselves.ĭepending on what part of the country you are located, there may be mountains, rivers and other physical barriers that have to be crossed in order to reach the refinery. to tap into new resources and discover copious amounts of crude oil that had not been available previously. These days, new processes including horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing allow the U.S. YOUR TRUSTED PARTNERīacked by over five decades of experience serving the energy industry, our seasoned engineering and construction teams design and build all transloading equipment and facilities to the highest standards to meet with all ASME codes and comply with all OSHA safety requirements, to protect workers while maximizing productivity.In America’s search to find more crude oil at home, companies have had to travel to places previously not breached partly because there has been no way to get to the oil and partly because there is no pipeline that runs the expanse of the country.
