Pembina Pipeline, based in Calgary, is snapping up Kinder’s Canadian assets and a cross-border pipeline in a $3.3 billion deal. For Houston-based Kinder, the deal completes an exit from a country that has frustrated more than a few companies -- from ConocoPhillips and Royal Dutch Shell to Marathon Oil.Yup: cross-border. Those easements are nice to have.
Anyone wonder where that pipeline crosses the border? Look no further:
Buried in this Reuters article that no one is talking about:
The Cochin pipeline can carry 95,000 barrels per day of U.S. condensate - an ultra-light oil - into Alberta to dilute the heavy crude it produces. Reversing that pipeline would ease constraints on Canadian export pipelines, and Dilger said the company may consider that option.Wow, I love this blog.
Now to find that 44-mile pipeline carrying propane from a natural gas processing plant in central McKenzie County to "Andeavor/Belfield."
This is a map of the natural gas processing plants in North Dakota. The article said that the pipeline originated at a natural gas processing plant in "central McKenzie County." That's possible but there is no such plant "44 miles" from Belfield. However, there is a natural gas processing plant exactly "44 miles" from Belfield in central Dunn County.
It matters not at all. The exercise was undertaken to remind / re-acquaint readers of the location of natural gas processing plants in North Dakota.
By the way, where is the 60-well Long Creek Unit that CLR is developing?
Curious as to where these lines end up going east and south... could it be good old Patoka, IL?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be a bit surprised ... Patoka, IL.
DeleteFascinating to watch. And remember, there are thoughts that Pembina could reverse the products flow back into Canada as diluent for their heavy sands.
