The Dakota Access Pipeline Project is a new approximate 1,134-mile, 30-inch diameter pipeline that will connect the rapidly expanding Bakken and Three Forks production areas in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois.
It will transport approximately 450,000 barrels per day with a capacity as high as 570,000 barrels per day or more â which could represent approximately half of Bakken current daily crude oil production. Shippers will be able to access multiple markets, including Midwest and East Coast markets as well as the Gulf Coast via the Nederland, Texas crude oil terminal facility of Sunoco Logistics Partners.
So this gets approved but Keystone doesn’t. There must be more to Keystone than what is being told.
SO, is Patoka, IL a refinery, tank-farm or an interconnect hub?
If a hub, where does the crude go from there (along existing lines)?
Unrelated but do you know why I am paying $0.45 more per gallon for 93 octane? That is a pretty big spread historically, usually it is much smaller difference may 15-20 cents.
It will go through my county, maybe eight miles or so from my house.
