Oneok granted ND permission to build NGL pipeline
Oneok Bakken Pipeline LLC has received permission from the North Dakota Public Service Commission to build its 90,000-b/d Williams County NGL pipeline. The project consists of about 75 miles of 16-in. OD steel pipe in Williams County, ND. Oneok anticipates a fourth-quarter 2020 in-service date.
The pipeline includes four mainline block valves, one pig launcher, one pig launcher with receiver, and one pig receiver. It will start at the Hess Tioga natural gas processing plant and end at an interconnection near Oneok’s Stateline-to-Riverview NGL pipeline. The system has a maximum operating pressure of 1,480 psi.
Estimated cost is $100 million.
Hess Midstream Partners LP is expanding natural gas processing capacity at its 250-MMcfd Tioga plant. The planned 150-MMcfd expansion will add residue and y-grade liquids processing capacity to the existing full-fractionation and ethane-extraction capability of the current plant (OGJ Online, Apr. 26, 2019).
