Update On Proposed "Bridger Expansion" -- Huge Non-Canadian Keystone XL Competitor -- Won't Touch Nebraska -- October 19, 2019

From the Bismarck Tribune:

will entail building two separate oil pipelines
one straddling North Dakota and Montan
another in Wyoming
16-inch North-Dakota pipeline will be called the "South Bend"

150,000 bopd from Johnsons Corner in McKenzie County to Baker, MT
will extend for 137 miles across the two states (ND and MT)

Wyoming line will be known as the "Equality" line

200,000 bopd; from Hulett, WY, to Guernsey, WY
will enter the national system, including the proposed Liberty Line

Liberty Line: a separate project by Bridger and Philips 66 that's slated to run to Cushing, OK
does this look like a direct non-Canadian competitor to the Keystone XL?

I'm Here But Blogging On The Bakken Will Be Delayed -- October 19, 2019

It is such an incredibly beautiful day here in north Texas and I have so much stuff going on, I'm not going to blog about the Bakken until later.

But, wow. Scroll down through yesterday's posts and look at the incredible wells that are being reported.

Good luck to all.
