It Never Quits -- Another Pipeline Connector In The Bakken -- MDU -- January 25, 2019

North Bakken Expansion Project:
  • pipeline connector: natural gas connector from western North Dakota to interconnection point with Northern Border Pipeline
  • MDU's WBI Enercy, Inc
    • 67 miles of new pipeline 
    • 20-inch diameter
    • wag: at $1 million /mile = $67 million
    • MDU's press release: $220 million 
    • will start near Tioga, ND
    • new connection with NBP in McKenzie County, ND
  • Tioga is in Williams County
  • this means that the pipeline will have to cross the river
  • that probably explains the higher cost 
  • initial phase: 200 millio cfpd)
  • could expand to 375 million cfpd (65,000 boepd) if demand exists
  • note: WBI Energy plans to utilize the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's National Environmental Policy Act pre-filing process for the North Bakken Expansion Project and will begin that process by late in the first quarter of 2019.
