On Energy & Oil: New safety rule: filter crude oil for dangerous types of gas

Dalrymple praised recent safety rules from the United States and Canada that will require thicker hulls, among many other standards, to improve the safety of crude-by-rail transport. "I think the improvements are very good," he said. "The biggest factor in safety of transport are the cars themselves."

The rules come after Dalrymple and other state regulators instituted new rules last fall requiring every barrel of crude be filtered for dangerous types of natural gas. "It's helpful to see these as one part of the overall safety equation," he said. "Still, it's important to see that North Dakota crude is not different from other light, sweet crudes around the country."
