Dakota Express Oil Pipeline is a cancelled oil pipeline that would have transported crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken formation to Illinois, United States.[1] Note the Dakota Express Oil Pipeline is a separate and distinct project from the high-profile and controversial Dakota Access Oil Pipeline.
Location
The pipeline would have originated in North Dakota and terminated in Patoka, Illinois.
Project Details
- Operator:
- Owner: Koch Pipeline Co.
- Parent company: Koch Industries[1]
- Capacity: 250,000 barrels per day
- Status: Cancelled (2014)
Background
In July 2013, Koch Pipeline Co. launched the first phase of a non-binding open season for the proposed pipeline, soliciting expressions of interest from potential shippers.[2] The pipeline was expected to offer a capacity of 250,000 barrels per day, with an in-service date in 2016.[2]
The Dakota Express Oil Pipeline would have included some new construction while also using Koch’s existing Wood River Oil Pipeline and Hartford Oil Terminal. The 580-mile Wood River pipeline historically has transported crude oil from south to north, Illinois to Minnesota. The Dakota plan would reverse the flow.[3]
In January 2014, Koch Pipeline Co. canceled the Dakota Express Oil Pipeline.[4]
