Energy Transfer announced that its subsidiaries Dakota Access and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company launched a Binding Supplemental Open Season to solicit additional shipper commitments for transportation service from the Bakken/Three Forks play in North Dakota to storage terminals located in Patoka, Illinois and Nederland, Texas through their respective pipeline systems.
The Bakken Pipeline System current capacity is 570 Mbbls/d and could grow to 1.1 MMbbls/d depending on shipper demand.
Dakota Access and ETCO anticipate that incremental capacity on the Bakken Pipeline System will be determined based on committed subscriptions made by shippers during the Open Season in addition to commitments already received for future capacity during the previous open season that concluded in December 2018. The Bakken Pipeline System is operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer Operating, L.P.
Open Season Process
The Open Season commenced at 12:00 p.m. (Central Time) on July 15, 2019.
