Energy Transfer LP subsidiaries Dakota Access LLC and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Co. LLC (ETCO) launched a binding expansion open season to solicit shipper commitments for expanded transportation service through the Bakken pipeline system.

In service since June 1, 2017, the 1,915-mile, mostly 30-in. pipeline system transports US-produced crude oil from the Bakken-Three Forks production areas in North Dakota to a storage and terminalling hub outside Patoka, Ill., and/or south to additional terminals in Nederland, Tex.

The companies anticipate incremental capacity on system will be determined based on committed subscriptions made by shippers during the expansion open season.

The system is operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer Operating LP.
