Several fiery rail accidents in 2013-2015 in the U.S. and Canada
carrying crude oil produced from the Bakken region of North Dakota
have raised questions at many levels on the safety of transporting
this, and other types of crude oil, by rail. Sandia National
Laboratories was commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy to
investigate the material properties of crude oils, and in
particular the so-called "tight oils" like Bakken that comprise the
majority of crude oil rail shipments in the U.S. at the current
time. The book provides a literature survey of public sources of
information on crude oil properties that have some bearing on the
likelihood or severity of combustion events that may occur around
spills associated with rail transport. The book also contains
background information including a review of the notional "tight
oil" field operating environment, as well a basic description of
crude oils and potential combustion events in rail transport.
