that's one of the most economic ways to get crude out of the bakken. we're just starting it now, and i'm happy to say that based on our nominations, we're going to be basically full the first month. we plan to expand that by year-end this year and hopefully expand it further in the future. we've got long-term contracts. we're in the tier 1 acreage in the bakken. did a well by well analysis. we're comfortable with the position. it's accretive in '15 and gets more accretive in the out years. we're very pleased with the acquisition. >> all right. one last thing. i know that people said jim, you love rich you love rich but rich is retiring. i say you said that you were going to die with your boots on in the conference call, which means to me we're going to be talking many more times and it's not going to be you riding off into the sunset. >> no i'm not runiding off into the sunset but steve kane is going to be a great ceo, we've got a great management team i'm going to be there to participate in all the major decisions, including acquisitions including big

. >>> ktvu fox 2 news has learned the train shipments of bakken crude oil to richmond have been stopped. bakken crude is the oil from fields in north america and it is considered more flammable than other types of crude. the reason the shipments have stopped is because of the falling price of oil. kinder morgan, the operator, stopped the shipments back in november when crude was $63 a barrel. it is now down to $54 a barrel which is not enough for them to resume the shipments. >>> bay area weather and a series of slight changes. let's go to chief meteorologist bill martin. explain how today is different. >> the sun came out sooner. yesterday, it started off like this. but yesterday, the fog didn't really burn off. so today, it did, and temperatures got back into the mid and upper 60s . and more sunshine made for generally a nicer day. this is a good looking active pacific. a lot of storms out here, but the jet stream is taking everything to the north of us. that will keep us dry through the weekend. there is the fog again. burns off 10:00, 11:00 in other places. overnight lows tonight wi

the pipeline operators, the people that build this -- bakken. they're having difficulty because every new pipeline project gets blocked by the same people that claim that they want to clean up the environment. the state department's own study says that when you transport oil by rail you have more accidents. and, frankly, they even put a number of deaths on that figure for not building a pipeline like keystone. we have to look at safety first and remove politics from this debate. >> guest: well two quick points. i think brick and knows this. a lot of the pipeline operators themselves in north dakota are rejecting some without bakken accrued for the supper is that the producers are not investing in the stabilizers, not making that as safe as it needs to be. we're moving about 25 million gallons a day out of the bakken on rail. as for candidate goes, we don't have a better friend. when john terry was sworn in the very first day on the job, his very first guest was the foreign minister from candidate. we have one of the largest borders in the world.

earlier this afternoon, a 109-car train, carrying highly flammable bakken crude oil derailed.t forced the evacuation of at least two west virginia towns. and the governor has now declared a state of emergency. at least one oil tanker fell into the river koreaing a burning oil slick and that has prompted state officials to cut off water treatment plants downstream. the fire had been burning for several hours, is it now under control? >> reporter: it is somewhat contained, but at this point the plan is to let at least some of those cars burn out as a way to take care of the contents. >> there have been conflicting reports about the number of people affected by possible water contamination. can you shed any light on what their situation is? >> yes, one of the two public water sup place potentially affected by this served the community of montgomery and surrounding communities. and that water system has about 2,000 customers. sit believed that cedar grove is somewhat smaller. we're not sure how much screwed-- much crude is in the water, but out of an abundance of precaution those

the train was carrying oil from the bakken fields in north dakota to virginia.y bakken oil is more flammable and that heavier cruise from canada or california. more oil is being carried on the rails. in 2009, more than 10,000 tanker cars carried oil. in 2013 that number jumped to 500,000, and we have seen a rise in high-profile accidents. last april, 30,000 gallons of oil went into the james river in lynchburg, virginia. december 2013 400,000 gallons spilled in castleton, north dakota and in just 2013 47 people killed in quebec canada. a day after being told not to drink the water for fear of contamination, some good news for residents. >> now with the tests coming back all negative people can get their, you know water and get their lives back to order. >> reporter: now, while the taps are open here for some 2,000 residents, they remain under a boil water order this morning. as for the cause of the accident csq railroad says it's much too early to speculate. during the train derailment there was just a tremendous snowstorm going on here. csx also points out just

-sponsored peace keeping force for example like we had in the bakkens. i think the lesson for this for the international community, it's one thing to get rid of a government it's another thing to create a stable government after you leave. four years later, we still don't have a stable government and instability allows groups like isis to come in and get a foothold. >> u.n. intervention whatever it ends up being, takes an awfully long time to get that signed off. in the meantime we have got what appears to be three fronts. militias from both governments heading to take on isil and both of them are enemies too. >> that's correct. and that is why it's so complicated in the whole -- you know the whole region just like in iraq where they are essentially partnering with iran to get rid of isil. >> why did isil bring in egypt? >> yeah i think isil in the short-term they may have you know gotten more attention for the horrible thing they did, but in the long term just like burning alive the jordanian pilot, this is going to hurt them. because egypt and jordan w

that train that blew up in lynchburg, virginia last year was carrying bakken crude oil heading for thestorage facility. that was april last year when that train exploded and sent those rail cars into that river in virginia. now it's west virginia. we've seen a long and lengthening string of these derailing, exploding oil trains. just in recent history, right? there's the run away oil train that crashed and exploded and killed 47 people in canada in 2013. a few months later, most of castleton, north dakota fled the explosion when an oil train crashed and exploded there. there was that crash in lynchburg lynchburg, virginia, last year. there was a crash today along the same line in west virginia. the federal government has been considering new standards for older tanker cars to try to make them safer. even if those new standards get approved, the rollout is expected to take 20 years. meanwhile, in places like west virginia reporters have been asking for information about the oil trains that have been moving through their communities. you know what? every once in a while, it gets hard to

we went to the bakken and to the midland and calgary. once a rig is producing, it will keep producing. it takes a lot to shut down a rig. it's ease where i to not drill new wells, but to close a rig is hard. >> well, not only is it hard, but the rig that is are being closed are not exactly the most productive ones. if you look at the data on rig count versus production, about 70% of the production is coming from about 30% of the rigs being deployed, and guess what, those rigs are not being shut down. those are the ones that have initial production rates and sustainable production rates that are many times larger than the rig that is are being cut out of the market. it's not like it's a one to one relationship. you cut a rig, and you slow down production growth. the margin in that is really, really, really big. you've got to shut down significantly more rigs than they've shut down to get to the point where production is going to be stiffled. >> possibly 30s. what about 20s? sfwlu you can't ever call a bottom. the market when it moves to,

there are moving bakken crude which is highly explosive, as we saw before.ng tar sands crude, some cases. over the weekend, we had an explosion in canada of a train carrying tar sands crude. >> explain what happened there in ontario, canada. >> similarly, yet a tar sands train that went off the rails and exploded. again, this is the kind of thing that we have been seeing happening again and again with his industry. it is interesting because the industry says, well, this is why we need pipelines, because rail is more dangerous. that is not a choice at all choice between pipelines or rail is really a choice -- tremendously bad choice. the real choices about energy policy for the future and whether or not we are going to choose clean energy or continue to use also fuels that not only pose grave dangers to our communities, but also culturally, drive up time a change. >> stephen kretzmann, you have a map on the website that illustrates the shipment of oil by rail across north america. you see colored lines representing different rail companies which form a vast w

the train was carrying oil to virginia from the bakken shale in north dakota, where a boom in oil productionhas increased oil-by-rail shipments more than 4,000% in recent years. the incident came after another oil train derailed in ontario, canada saturday, sparking a fire that has burned for at least two days. secretary of labor tom perez is due in california today for talks aimed at ending a contract dispute between shipping companies and union dockworkers. for days, the shipping firms have partially shut down activity at 29 west coast ports handling nearly half of all u.s. maritime trade, after accusing workers of waging a slowdown. but union officials deny the slowdown and blame backups on the companies. the dispute has left dozens of container ships idling off the coast. a federal judge in texas has blocked president obama's executive actions on immigration. in november, obama outlined programs aimed at providing relief from deportation to as many as five million people. but texas and 25 other states sued to oppose the measures. two days before the first of the programs was due to start
