Emergency crews are battling a huge fire after a Canadian National tanker train carrying oil and gas derailed west of Edmonton, Alberta, overnight. No injuries have been reported so far.

A Canadian National spokesman, Louis-Antoine Paquin, said on Saturday that 13 cars four carrying petroleum crude oil and nine loaded with liquified petroleum gas came off the tracks around 1am local time in the hamlet of Gainford, about 50 miles from Edmonton. The entire community of roughly 100 people has been evacuated. Paquin said three cars containing gas were leaking and on fire. Officials say that poses the risk of an explosion.

In July, a runaway oil train derailed and several cars exploded in a small Quebec town, Lac-Mégantic, killing 47 people and destroying the downtown area.

Just think, of all this mess could have been avoided had it been shipped via a Pipeline....
 
Shipping Oil and Gas by train and truck is dangerous business, but what else can we do? OH! wait a minute I think they can use Pipelines?:cool:
 
China Inc. Battles Big Oil for Century’s Biggest Find


By Rodrigo Orihuela - Oct 20, 2013 7:00 PM ET



For Chinese oil companies, competing in Brazil’s auction today for the giant Libra field represents a change in strategy. A successful bid would be their riskiest Latin American investment.
Cnooc Ltd. and China National Petroleum Corp. are among 11 companies registered to bid for what may become one of the world’s two largest deep-water fields, requiring an estimated $185 billion investment. Libra holds as much as 12 billion barrels, or three years of China’s consumption, Brazil’s oil regulator estimates. Other bidders include Royal Dutch Shell Plc. and France’s Total SA.
