Bluewing Midstream LLC

BLUEWING MIDSTREAM LLC a couple of miles from the border, it makes for a very seamless supply chain, going back and forth.” Malone admits that while “some of it had to do with luck,” it was also part of Energy Spectrum Capital’s initial $100 million investment strategy in the new company. “It was being in the right place at the right time,” he adds. Another thing that sets Bluewing apart, according to Malone, is that the company is “probably the most technologically advanced terminal. The majority of terminal space is fully automated,” he states. “That means that the customer, at any given time, can log into a terminal automation system and see on a screen exactly where their product is, what’s been moved, what truck is loaded, and where it’s at in the loading process. All of that works seamlessly. Customers are able to see where their product is from start to finish and they really like that.” “Let’s say Customer A is going to be picking up a hundred trucks of premium gasoline, today,” he continues. “The customer schedules those loads online in our system; the system, then, puts together a code for that truck driver which is his ‘passport’ for everything. Once he gets to the gate, he puts in that code, he gets to the loading rack, he puts in that code, the truck’s hooked up, the load starts and then automatically stops when the quantity that’s been scheduled is loaded, a bill of lading is automatically generated and printed out, and then he exits the facility. So, everything is automated from the time he comes in to the time he leaves.” In addition, Malone says that all of the company’s “movements” are done via pipeline. “Most of our stuff is interconnected,” he notes. “It’s all done with automated valves. When those truck drivers go up to the load station and put in their code, all that’s programmed into the PLC– Programmable Logic Controller. All the valves start turning in the facility and it really doesn’t matter which tank they’re loading from and which product – everything works automatically.” Another advantage comes from the fact that Bluewing’s management team all come from
