Update
Video of the originating site for the Enbridge Bakken Expansion Pipeline Project was taken today. This is at Beaver Lodge, North Dakota, about eight miles south of Tioga, North Dakota. (For newbies, Beaver Lodge oil field was where oil was discovered in North Dakota in 1951 -- the Clarence Iverson well.)
Description of the project:
Enbridge's Bakken Expansion Program will involve U.S. projects which will be undertaken by EEP at a cost of approximately US$370 million; and Canadian projects which will be undertaken by EIF at a cost of approximately Cdn $190 million.Still photos of the same (click on the third photo below and enlarge it to see the complex from a distance):
The expansion program will originate at Beaver Lodge, North Dakota, in the heart of the Bakken, and will follow existing EEP and EIF rights of way to terminate at and deliver to the Enbridge mainline terminal at Cromer, Manitoba.
Once on the Enbridge mainline, Bakken production will have access to the multiple markets accessible from the mainline and connected pipeline systems.
