January 14, 2015: update on the BakkenLink under the river/lake.

Original Post

Enbridge would like to set a world record by drilling horizontally 13,000 feet for an oil pipeline under Lake Sakakawea.

I'm not sure if this is part of the BakkenLink pipeline from the Beaver Lodge oil field north of the river to Fryburg in southwestern North Dakota.  The feds have already turned down an idea to place a pipeline on the bottom of the river for the BakkenLink.

Something tells me the whole BakkenLink is something of a pipe dream. Looks like we may have barges criss-crossing the lake.
