Earlier note:
ONEOK announces onstruction of a 525- to 615-mile NGL pipeline, the Bakken Pipeline, to transport unfractionated NGLs produced from the Bakken Shale in the Williston Basin to the Overland Pass Pipeline, a 760-mile NGL pipeline extending from southwestern Wyoming to Conway, Kansas; $500 million projectThe Sidney Herald provides an update today (January 23, 2011). It's a regional paper and I assume the link will be broken soon.
ONEOK, also known as Bear Paw Energy, has already notified affected landowners for surveying properties, and its looking into purchasing private access for constructing the pipeline. In addition to the Bakken Pipeline, ONEOK is building three new gas plants in North Dakota. The move amounts to a significant financial impact for the MonDak region.The project should begin in 2012 and be operational sometime in 2013.
“When it’s all said and done,” an ONEOK spokesman said, “we’ll be investing approximately $1.5 billion in your region, including this pipeline.”
On another note, if you like wild animal web cams, a black bear web cam is fascinating. In Minnesota, Lily, has just given birth to two cubs (in her den). Bears usually have cubs every other year, but Lily gave birth to Hope in 2010. Coincidentally, Hope is sharing the den with her mother, and now her two little brothers this winter. I leave the site on with the volume turned up while surfing the net and updating the blog.
