Bear Creek Natural Gas Processing Plant Should Be On-Line By Third Quarter 2016 -- March 23, 2016

From an earlier post, two natural gas processing plants were to be completed this year. At the time of the original post, I did not know the status of these processing plants. A reader provided the update -- ONEOK suspended plans for the Demicks Lake plant:
  • Demicks Lake, McKenzie, 200 MMcf/d -- announced July 30, 2014; to be completed in 2016; in this press release Oneok said more projects might be announced before the end of 2014; appears to have been revised upward to 400 MMcf/d in an article dated December 18, 2014. Update: see comments below -- this project was suspended; press release February 24, 2015.
  • Bear Creek, northwest Dunn County, 80 MMcf/d -- announced Sept 22, 2014; $300 million; to be completed 2Q16; 
Bear Creek will be the first natural gas processing plant in Dunn County.

Based on an article published in late 2015, the Bear Creek NG processing plant is now scheduled to be completed in the 3Q16.

I believe a ONEOK pipeline that would originate at the Bear Creek processing plant has just been approved. See this link

From The Bakken Magazine:



Based on reader's description, see first comment, the star in the graphic is about where the Bear Creek natural gas processing plant should be located:



Note CLR's Oakdale field is just to the northwest, as is Rattlesnake Point. Burlington Resources "controls" Corral Creek, also to the north, one of the best spots in the Bakken. I mention these fields because the wells in this area appear to be producing a fair amount of natural gas. There are a number of great fields in this area.
