October 31, 2013: mostly fluff, but The Motley Fool briefly updates the major pipelines of interest.
By 2014 the United States of America will overtake Russia in liquids production, which is estimated to hit 11 million barrels per day versus 10.86 million bpd for Russia. But the bigger question is how will America move 40 billion barrels a year?
Well up north Enbridge Energy Partners is lending a helping hand with several projects coming up. The Bakken is seeing booming production, and someone has to be able to transport all that oil to the refineries.
Enbridge Energy Partners is building a 225,000 bpd pipeline from the Bakken to Clearbrook, Minnesota. From Clearbrook, Enbridge Energy Partners is building a 375,000 bpd pipeline to Superior, Wisconsin. Both of these projects will be done around 2016 and will allow oil from the Bakken to reach refiners out east.
In order to make sure as much oil as possible is hooked up to Enbridge Energy Partner's pipelines, it is building a 100,000 bpd regional access system which will come online in the third quarter of 2013.August 25, 2013: Wall Street Cheat Sheet provides background to three pipelines that are as "environmentally dangerous" as the Keystone XL according to activist environmentalists (some of them noted below): a) the Bluegrass Pipeline; b) the TransCanada's Energy East Pipeline (entirely within Canada, skirting Maine); and, c) Enbridge's Eastern Gulf Crude Oil Access Pipeline.
- Bluegrass Pipeline: across Kentucky; 500 miles; natural gas; from western border of Pennsylvania to Arkansas, where it will connect with existing line to the Gulf
- Energy East Pipeline: most expensive TransCanada project ever; $12 billion; converting 1800 miles to natural gas pipeline to handle crude oil
- Eastern Gulf Crude Oil Access Pipeline: 770 miles, crude oil, Illinois (Patoka/Johnsonville) to Louisiana

- Completed:
- Length: 240 miles
- Origin: Williston, North Dakota
- Terminal: Manitoba/Saskatchewan border to meet the proposed TransCanada Energy East pipeline

Dakota Access Pipeline
Announced: June 26, 2014 (story here)
Anticipated completion: 4Q16
Note: "replaces" Koch Bros "Dakota Express"
Updates: South Dakota approves its segment, November 30, 2015; North Dakota approves, January 20, 2016; Iowa last state, expected to approve "next month (February, 2016)"; US Army Corps of Engineers need to approve that portion under the Missouri River
Data points:
- "Go-By Name": Dakota Access Pipeline
- Completed: March 27, 2017: DAPL pipeline oil under the lake.
- Length: 1,150 miles
- Origin: North Dakota
- Terminal: Patoka, IL
- Capacity: 320,000 bopd (remember the Keystone XL was going to have about 850,000 bopd capacity and very little of that would carry Bakken crude oil); in January 20, 2016, update, the pipeline was said to be able to carry 600,000 bopd

- Origin: Stanley, ND
- Terminal: Cushing, OK
- Capacity: 30-inch diameter; 340,000 bopd (remember the Keystone XL was going to have about 850,000 bopd capacity and very little of that would carry Bakken crude oil)
- Cost: [my estimate: 1200 miles x $400K/mile = 480,000K = $480 million]
- Impact: huge; if I recall correctly, OKE proposed something similar but canceled plans
Belle Fourche Pipeline #2, Billings County To Dickinson, North Dakota
Data points:
- Announced: June 18 2014 (story here); to parallel an existing Belle Fourche pipeline
- Anticipated completion:
- Completed:
- Length: 20 miles
- Origin: southeast Billings County
- Terminal: MDU/Calument refinery / CBR west of Dickinson
- Capacity: 100,000 bopd (about 15% of the Bakken output)
- Cost: $8 million
- Impact: huge; another 100,000 bopd for the refinery and CBR; complements the Killdeer-Dickinson line; parallels an existing pipeline
Data points:
- Unofficial "Go-By" Name:
- Announced: 2013
- Originator: TransCanada
- Pipeline: crude oil
- Specs:
- Origin: most likely, Hardisty, Alberta, Canada
- Terminus: Montreal, Quebec City and Saint John, N.B.
- Length:
- Capacity: 850,000 bopd (original post); January 7, 2014, according to RBN Energy: 1.1 million bopd
- Comments: alternative to Keystone XL if disapproved; could be in addition to Keystone XL if the latter is approved; Energy East also would displace foreign crude. About half of the crude oil that would flow through the pipeline would be destined for export markets, with the remainder processed at domestic refineries. Refineries in the northeastern U.S., Europe and India’s west coast are possible customers for Energy East’s crude.
- Concerns:
- Status: $11 billion project application formally filed October 30, 2014; link here to WSJ;

- Line 62, expansion, Spearhead North Pipeline, from Flanagan, IL, to terminal at Griffith, IN: to 235K bopd from 130K by adding horsepower. (Flanagan, IL: southwest of Chicago; out in the middle of nowhere)

Line 61 Upgrade Project
Two Phases
Line 61 Upgrade Project
Two Phases
Phase 1: increasing the
capacity on Line 61 (referred to as Southern Access Project during its
construction in 2007) between Enbridge’s Superior, WI, Terminal and
Flanagan Terminal near Pontiac, IL. The Line 61 Project expands the
capacity of the 42-inch pipeline from 400,000 bpd to 560,000 bpd.
The construction of Phase 1 Project was completed in the
summer of 2014, allowing the 560,000 bpd capacity to begin flowing
September 2014.
Phase 2: Enbridge is expanding the average annual capacity of Line 61 from
560,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 1.2 million bpd. Enbridge is expanding in phases the average
annual capacity of our Line 61 Pipeline to an ultimate 1.2 million
barrel per day (bpd) design capacity. Line 61 is a 42-inch-diameter
crude oil pipeline that spans from Enbridge’s terminal in Superior,
Wisconsin, to our Flanagan Terminal near Pontiac, Illinois.
- Phase 2 will increase Line 61 to its full 1.2 bpd design capacity
To increase Line 61’s capacity to its full 1.2 million bpd design
capacity, Enbridge is constructing or modifying pump stations located in Wisconsin and Illinois.
All work will be performed on property that is owned or acquired in
fee by Enbridge. The Project does not require pipeline construction.
Construction for Phase 2 began in spring 2014 and, subject to permit
and regulatory approvals, the pipeline will be operating at a capacity
of 1.2 million bpd in 2015.
This is simply an upgrade in pumping stations.
