Enbridge Bakken Pipeline Co. Inc. was granted approval from Canada’s National Energy Board for its Bakken Pipeline project’s Canada application, which outlines the construction and operation of a 123.4-km pipeline and a new pump station that will transport crude oil from Steelman, Sask., to Enterprise Pipeline Inc.’s Mainline in Cromer, Man. The project will link Bakken and Three Forks crude production to Eastern Canadian and US Midwest markets.Cool.
Enbridge Bakken expects the Bakken Pipeline to enter service in early 2013 at a cost of $180.1 million.
In same story, it was noted:
Enbridge Energy Partners LP in December announced plans to expand its Berthold rail terminal capacity in the North Dakota portion of the Bakken formation by 80,000 b/d, including a rail car loading facility to accommodate the additional volume.
How quick decisions can be made when there is not a need to deal with the US state department and this administration.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to know with all the oil production going on in North Dakota what it is contributing to reducing our trade deficit. It has to be huge along with the increased oil production in country. We are now down to importing around 45% of our crude needs. The high point was in 2005 at 60%.
All in spite of the current administrations war on conventional energy. Got to love it.
That is the key point -- all of this is happening in spite of this administration.
