- North Dakota's governor wants to double the state's pipeline capacity over the next two years as part of a plan to curb wasteful gas flaring and reduce the reliance of Bakken producers on rail and trucks to get their oil to market.
- Oil production in North Dakota has more than tripled in the past decade to 1M boe/day, but the state's pipeline capacity is only ~780K boe/day; Gov. Dalrymple says the state should boost capacity to 1.4M boe/day by 2016.
- The governor's overtures were timed with Enterprise Products Partners' plans to build a first-of-its-kind 1,200-mile pipeline from North Dakota's Bakken oil fields to Cushing, OK. [My estimate of cost: $400K/mile x 1,200 miles = $480 million = a cool half-billion dollars?]
- ONEOK, Enbridge, MDU Resources and other pipeline operators have been working to build natural gas networks in the state, but they have been constrained by cold weather and right-of-way issues.
- While environmental groups worry about flaring, many residents see traffic as a reason to build pipe; a local officials says citizens "are less worried about global warming then they are about the 1,100 trucks that go by their mailbox every day."

Note the "R" -- revised or re-entry? Revised. I only read one file report, but I assume all thee are the same. Apparently the original siting was farther from the pipeline that was already there (or something to that effect); the operator respectfully asked that the original permit be canceled; they revised the permit request and here they are. Not a big deal.
