In short, the diluent story plays whether oilsands production is moved to market by pipe or rail – and that makes Musket’s story very compelling because of their strong position in rail capacity moving product from the Bakken to Texas, on a scale sufficient to support a substantial trading operation as the company of rail, diesel and trading becomes an important player the diluent – bitumen mix.
How do you see happening over the next 90 days?
… trans-loading, truck to rail, growth in Canada based on a well resourced company in terms of capital and rail cars. And price volatility . . .
Over the next 5 years?
… developing in Canada from a trading platform by expanding into terminals, trans-loading and growth as the market gets to know our company and its capabilities better
What drives him?
. . . in business, the hunt, and an insatiable desire for knowledge
Along his way from Lord Beaverbrook High School, B.Comm at U of C, how does a Calgary native find his way to trading diluent, for an Oklahoma company that made is name shipping diesel from Texas to California? Graham explained his early days as an analyst at Enmax – forecasting loads and prices (he was always good with numbers) led to jobs in trading power and natural gas until he had an ah+ha moment – during a DISC assessment – seems he is a high DC. Conclusion – smart with numbers, good with people . . . and management jobs followed.
For fun … ?
. . . my wife and I used to hike – a lot – but with young children our mountain time is confined to camping, for now.
His ride . . .
. . . VW Tourag (Diesel)
Plans this winter?
. . . learning to skate is on my agenda. I never learned to skate as a kid.
Thanks Graham.
