New Pipeline Proposal For Southwestern North Dakota To Feed MDU/Calumet Refinery West Of Dickinson, North Dakota -- The Bakken

I will add this new pipeline to "Pipelines of Interest." In The Bismarck Tribune, July 12, 2014.

Belle Fourche Pipeline Company proposes to build a new 10-diameter, 20-mile long crude oil pipeline, to parallel an existing pipeline. PDF: http://www.psc.nd.gov/public/newsroom/2014/docs/6-23-14BelleFourchePipeline.pdf

Capacity: 100,000 bopd

Cost: $8 million (rounded)

Origin: Billings County

Terminus: Dakota Prairie Refining facility / CBR west of Dickinson

Note: this will be another 100,000 bopd coming to this terminal (refinery and CBR); it parallels an existing Belle Fourche pipeline; the 165,000-bopd pipeline from Killdeer to Dickinson was recently completed. See link at top of post.

Comment: It looks like the origin is in St Demetrius oil field, an oil field pretty much owned/controlled by CLR.

CLR got all the early permits for St Demetrius oil field. It's hard to believe, but I don't see any new permits were issued for that field in all of 2013.

Then, so far this year, a new player: Emerald Oil has 6 new permits in that field (the Mary Samsonite wells; two 3-well pads in the same section) and CLR has one new permit in St Demetrius oil field, so far this year.
