This is a very timely story, at least for this blog. Just yesterday I opined about the issues surrounding the flaring of natural gas in North Dakota.
I wonder if the pipeline will run due south through South Dakota and Nebraska to meet up with the Overland Pass Pipeline. The other option would be to run it southwest to Wyoming, which has its own advantages.

The 760-mile natural gas liquids project originates in Opal, Wyo., and terminates near Conway, Kan., at one of the nation’s primary natural gas liquids supply and storage hubs.By the way, as long as I've rambled this long, on July 26, 2010 -- that would be today -- WMB announced its intention to exercise its option to increase its ownership in the pipeline from 1 to 50 percent.
The natural gas liquids pipeline travels through 23 counties in three states: five in Wyoming, six in Colorado and 12 in Kansas. The pipeline is designed to transport approximately 110,000 barrels per day with the ability to expand capacity to 255,000 barrels per day with additional pump facilities.
The Overland Pass Pipeline is a 760-mile natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline from Opal to the Mid-Continent NGL market center in Conway, Kansas.There are only two -- only two -- NGL hubs in the US where mixed NGL products are fractionated, or separated, into individual components:
The pipeline, which went into service in November 2008, can transport approximately 140,000 barrels per day with the ability to expand capacity to 255,000 barrels per day with additional pump facilities. The market center in Conway is a primary NGL distribution and storage hub.
