FERC North Bakken Expansion Environmental Review
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is due to issue an environmental assessment for WBI Energy Transmission Inc.’s North Bakken Expansion Project, which is designed to provide 250,000 million cubic feet per day of incremental transportation capacity from the Williston Basin in North Dakota to a new interconnect with Northern Border Company’s existing mainline. The MDU Resources Group Inc. subsidiary underscored the importance of new pipeline infrastructure in the Williston Basin to move growing levels of natural gas produced from oil wells and reduce flaring in northwest North Dakota. The commission rescheduled the assessment issuance date from Sept. 4 to consider additional data filed by the company following proposed route and facility changes. The company reduced the project’s incremental transportation design capacity from 350,000 to 250,000 million cubic feet per day. CP20-52-000
