Bakken Pipeline to Philadelphia

Whiting Petroleum s CEO, appearing at one of Hart Energy s DUG Bakken/Niobrara conference, said in an open meeting that his biggest problem was getting pipeline access to the Philadelphia refinery complex. That sparked a flurry of questions from reporters: Was Whiting involved in a pipeline project? No, he said, but indicated someone else might be. Did he know of a company planning to build a cross-country pipeline? Well, he didn t want to divulge another company s plans. What company? He couldn t say. Then Oasis Petroleum s CEO indicated he knew about a pipeline project. His company wasn t involved, but it would sure like to ship its crude over the pipeline, once it got built. Like Whiting s CEO, however, he couldn t say what builder was out there. But it turned out that there were two companies working to build that pipeline. A little research turned up Dakota Access, a project to re-purpose an existing gas line and build on it to move crude oil from western North Dakota 1,100 miles
