BLM Approves 74-Mile Natural Gas Pipeline From Helena to Three Forks
- On last Tuesday, North Dakota's Industrial Commission considered two proposed natural gas pipelines from Intensity Infrastructure Partners LLC and an independent producer, seeking a up to $500 million state guarantee.
- The BLM approved NorthWestern Energy’s pipeline project amid a national energy emergency, marking progress in expanding energy infrastructure on public land, supported by federal expedited review.
- Data reveal a total 1.1 million Dth/d capacity, with Phase I spanning 136 miles of 36-inch pipe and Phase II extending 208 miles of 30-inch line carrying 430,000 Dth/d.
