Request for Readers' Help: Any Update on the Butte Pipeline Expansion Project -- Baker 300?

Back in July, 2011, I posted a summary of discussion regarding options for "Bakken pipelines."

One of the pipelines mention was the Butte pipeline:
  • Butte Pipeline: currently 118,000 bbls from eastern Montana to Wyoming
At the posting I mentioned four additional projects being proposed or underway, including:
  • True Company 'Baker 300': 118,000 bopd now; by the end of 2011, that oil flow will increase to 150,000 bopd; and in 2012, increase to 200,000 bopd
From another link, September, 2010, regarding the True Company "Baker 300":
In July 2010, True Companies made plans public for a new expansion project called the “Baker 300”. The proposed project would increase takeaway capacity at the Baker, MT hub from 118,000 bpd to 300,000 bpd by 2013. The project would require incremental expansions on the Butte Pipeline and an interconnect with the Keystone XL pipeline in Eastern Montana.
To the readers out there: does anyone know the status of the expansion planned for the Butte Pipeline? "Double looping" has been mentioned in association with this project, but I have not read any update.
