Random Notes From The Field -- July 24, 2015

From a reader:

I visited eastern Divide and western Burke counties last week. Nice to see a 10-inch/0.365 wall/X42 pipeline construction crossing the county line about 3 miles SE of Noonan.

This would be about 75 miles northeast of Williston, as the seagull flies. Assuming rodents with wings fly in straight lines.

The pipeline according to the reader:

The 46-mile pipeline will carry crude oil produced in the Fortuna area to the Basin Transload Facility located outside Columbus. The transmission line is capable of carrying up to 25,000 barrels per day and could eventually haul 50,000 barrels per day.

For more on this pipe, see US Steel. Just google: 10 inch/0.365 wall/X42.

Absolutely amazing what Google can find for you.
