Reopening Pipeline Rates Sought in Montana
The Lewistown refinery petitions the Montana state railroad commission to reopen oil pipeline rates. It seeks abrogation of the 32.5 cent per barrel Cat Creek to Winnett rate, and a 16 cent rate, arguing Elk Basin’s 15 cent proposal is more competitive and fair. Two hearings have occurred. Elk Basin ships oil while Independent line shows little activity.
