North Dakota's Crude Oil Production produces more Rails as Well

Guess what guys! North Dakota has plans to make the rail transport of Oil safer! There have been many rail accidents in the past year and its about time that someone goes on and fixes it. The new incredible plans relate to the new methods of using energy regulators to make the rails move safer, which carry tons of crude oil. "Proposed standards announced Thursday by the state Department of Mineral Resources follow a series of fiery rail accidents over the last 18 months that have made ballooning number "crude by rail" shipments highly controversial across the country" (NBC News).  The new rules however, insists on using oil producers to remove volatile gasses. The new proposal also involves new methods for separation of the fluids into gas and liquid. There has been much increase in the amount of oil transported as well. "The US Energy Information Administration said in a daily briefing on Nov. 13 that the volume of oil and petroleum products shipped on the US rail system increased more than 10% through October compared with same period during 2013" (ogj). What contributes to this is the rising US crude production which helps in an increase in the increase of transportation of oil. This is amazing as North Dakota's increase in crude oil production will benefit all of America. The more oil we bring the more Americans we make happy
