Right here in America there is a modern day oil & gas boom. Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated mean undiscovered volumes of 3.65 billion barrels of oil, 1.85 trillion cubic feet of associated/dissolved natural gas, and 148 million barrels of natural gas liquids in the Bakken Shale Formation of the Williston Basin Province, Montana and North Dakota.

Pipeline Planned from Watford City to Sidney

The company that announced investing millions of dollars in projects in the Bakken region has intentions for another project that should fit nicely.




ONEOK Partners plans to build a 62-mile natural gas liquids line from Watford City, N.D., to a Sidney rail facility for processing. Brad Borror, supervisor of external communications for ONEOK, said the line will eventually connect to the Bakken Pipeline, a 500-mile pipeline starting just south of Sidney and traveling south through Wyoming into northern Colorado. That pipeline will transport raw, unfractionated natural gas liquids from natural gas processing plants in the Bakken Shale play to the company’s 50 percent owned existing Overland Pass Pipeline which travels to Kansas where natural gas liquids are processed.

When completed, the Bakken Pipeline will provide approximately 60,000 barrels per day of NGL takeaway capacity to the region. The pipeline project won’t break ground until next year, but work on the pipeline from Watford City should begin this summer.
