Plains All Amer subsidiary announces open season for proposed Baker-to-Billings crude oil pipeline : Plains Pipeline, a subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, announced that it is conducting an open season for committed capacity on a proposed new crude oil pipeline from Baker, Montana to Billings, Montana. The proposed pipeline would originate at Plains' Baker, Montana station and provide an initial capacity of at least 50,000 barrels per day of light sweet crude oil to Billings, Montana.At least 50,000 of light sweet crude oil (Bakken oil) to Billings. I always think of this area as natural gas, so Bakken crude moving in this direction is nice to see.

Proposed New Pipeline Baker, Montana, to Billings, Montana, Taking Orders -- The Bakken, Montana, USA
The link:
Prior to finding the Elm Coulee Field (Bakken)near Sidney, the fields along the Cedar Creek Anticline near Baker were the largest oil producers in Montana. FWIW, there are three oil refineries in or near Billings each of which handle about 40 to 50,000 bbls per day. So if the pipeline is built it may provide better pricing for Williston Basin crude. However, Fear to Enviro Wacko Organizations. Unfortunately Montana is over run with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update; I was mistaken with regard to oil vs natural gas in that area. Thank you.
DeleteSorry to hear about the faux-environmental groups. I wonder what their thoughts are on whooping cranes and eagles.
Hey, the Montana Enviro groups are busy fighting pipelines, coal mines, electric transmission lines, fracking, drilling in general, and all other economic activity. So it's understandable if dead birds at the base of wind turbines are overlooked.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to see them spring into action just let one dead bird be found in a pit next to a drilling rig and all h@ll will break loose.
I did not know that about Montana. I knew Ted Turner could be a problem, but I had forgotten about him. I have no problem with taking care of the earth, but there are ways of working together. Ducks Unlimited is a very good example, to the extent I know anything about them.
DeleteMissoula, Montana, is practically ground-zero, in the environmental movement.
ReplyDeleteThat explains all the problems for the "megaloads" last year.
DeleteOn another note: 920 miles from Missoula, MT, to Ogallala, Nebraska: road trip. A pleasant 14-hour drive.
