The North Dakota Public Service Commission approved two pipeline projects Wednesday: one for a new natural gas processing plant in Williams County and another for the Dickinson refinery.
The Williams County project involves two new pipelines that will extend from OE2 North's Bill Sanderson Gas Processing Plant, which is located west of Williston. Both will connect to larger pipelines. One of the proposed lines, with a length of 1.3 miles and a capacity of 80,000 barrels per day, is to carry natural gas liquids. The other is for residue gas, with a capacity of 250 million cubic feet per day and a length of 4.7 miles. The project is projected to cost $6 million, and the lines are expected to begin operating by the end of the year.
Construction on the processing plant began this spring and has continued over the course of the summer.

We are having rolling blackouts in The Woodlands, just north of Houston. We did not have power for 3 and half hours this afternoon. Entergy, our power provider, put out a press release saying the rolling blackouts were needed to maintain the integrity of the grid. https://www.woodlandsonline.com/npps/story.cfm?nppage=67654
ReplyDeleteVery, very interesting. Every time I hear the phrase "rolling blackouts" in order to "maintain integrity of the grid" speaks volumes about how tenuous the integrity of the grid is ... and solar / wind power are aggravating the problem.
