The Dickinson Press is reporting (note the Heart River crossing):
State utility regulators gave their blessing this week for two pipelines
that will carry petroleum byproducts from a new diesel refinery near
Dickinson to a nearby rail hub, crossing the Heart River in the process.
Dakota Prairie Refining LLC, which is building a diesel refinery slated
for startup in December 2014, will use the 6- and 8-inch-diameter
pipelines to transport the byproducts about 5,900 feet from the
refinery’s storage tanks to Lario Shipping LLC’s rail hub.
Data points:
- a $5 million project: $5 million for a one-mile pipeline
- the first of its kind built in the United States since 1976
- it will
process 20,000 barrels of Bakken crude per day
- it will produce 7,000 to
10,000 barrels of diesel fuel daily
- the diesel will be trucked to fueling
stations within 50 miles of the refinery
The commission also approved Bakken Oil Express LLC’s application to
construct a 38-mile, 16-inch-diameter crude oil pipeline that’s expected
to reduce truck traffic on State Highway 22 between Killdeer and
Dickinson.
