Dear Colleague,

The Crude By Rail Safety Initiative 2014 has been designed to reflect the specific industry concerns for cost-effectively optimizing safety of crude by rail operations from wellhead to refinery. With a number of high profile incidents and derailments over the past year, it is now more crucial than ever for stakeholders to come together to collaborate and share best practices for maximizing safety.

Through determination economic of best practices in loading and unloading techniques, railroad operations, shipping, environmental remediation, emergency response, shipper training and more, industry will explain how to optimize operations to maximize efficiencies in a safe and profitable manner.

Developments in regulation and public opinion must also be understood to ensure cost-effective compliance in a rapidly changing environment. New tank car standards, further crude sampling requirements, rail speed regulations and more are all potential consequences of future legislation, and a comprehensive understanding of these developments is crucial before any further investment can be undertaken

Following on from the enormous success of our industry leading Crude By Rail Series, which in the last year has hosted instalments in Houston, Dallas and Glendale, and following on from the enormous support received for a dedicated safety event, American Business Conferences is excited to bring you this unique forum in Houston on June 24-25. As the only dedicated crude by rail safety event, attendees will gain exclusive insights into how best to economically maximize safety, as well as the comprehensive understanding of the regulatory dynamics and industry standards required to mitigate risk.

Day 1 will focus on the potential for multi-stakeholder collaboration to optimize safety, the regulatory outlook for the supply chain, crude quality and testing as well as best practices for transloading and railroad strategies to cost effectively reduce accident likelihood.

Day 2 will focus on developments in tank car availability, cost, shop capacity and the economics of retrofit to meet new standards. On top of this, best practices for hazardous materials training and emergency response will be revealed, alongside considerations for environmental remediation and the perspective of local communities impacted by increasing volumes of crude by rail.

Please take a look through the enclosed agenda and visit www.crude-by-rail-safety-2014.com for the latest way to register:

We look forward to welcoming you to Houston in June.
