ROCK RIVER RESOURCES IS DEVELOPING A CRUDE OIL TERMINAL AND
PROCESSING COMPLEX IN UTAH
The project, located in Green River Utah, will be built in three phases:
a crude oil terminal facility, a crude topping facility, and a wax plant.
Commercial operations will commence in mid 2014, with full operations
estimated in late 2016.
Phase
Description
Estimated
Completion date
Crude terminal
with unit train
capability
unit train loading facility with 400,000 bbls of
oil storage.
November 2014
Crude topping
plant
10,000 bpd crude oil topping plant to process
regional crudes. The plant will produce
naphtha, jet, 50 ppm diesel and ATBs.
March 2015
Wax plant
5,000 bpd facility to process regional waxy
crude and maximizing the creation of
petroleum wax. Products are naphtha, diesel,
paraffin wax, ATBs.
October 2016
Crude and Refined Products Terminal Facility
with Unit Train Capability
Storage
• 300,000 BBLs of crude
• 150,000 BBLs of refined products
Rail
• Capable of handling 2 120-car unit trains simultaneously
• Ability to load and store manifest cars
• UP high speed mainline connection that provides reduced time and mileage
for west coast and gulf coast unit trains
Truck Racks
• Initial unloading capacity of >100 trucks per day
• Capable of loading refined products by truck for local delivery
10,000 BPD Crude Oil Topping Plant
• State of the art engineered modular refinery
• Designed to take a blended range of local crudes to optimize
refined product output and serve local markets
• Products include naphtha, diesel, jet and residual fuel oil
• Construction Permit granted in June of 2013 with site work
commencing in November of 2013
5,000 BPD Crude Processing Wax Plant
• Designed and engineered using licensed Bechtel technology to
process Uinta Wax Crude to produce refined products and wax
products
• Phase One of the facility will produce slack wax
• Phase Two will refine slack wax into finished wax and will
include slabbing and prilling facilities
THE PROJECT LOCATED BETWEEN 4 KEY BASINS AND HAS ACCESS TO RAIL
AND HIGHWAY CORRIDORS
Rock River Resources will be located near the junction of highway 6 and I-70
and on a Union Pacific main line between the Paradox, Unita, Central Utah
Overthrust, and Paradox basin. This location gives us a transportation
advantage in gathering crude from a broader region and supplying products
back into the same region.
