WILLISTON, N.D. – North Dakota
officials have been touting pipelines as a way to reduce truck
traffic and more safely ship oil to refineries, but two major Bakken
pipeline proposals failed to move forward because of a lack of
interest from shippers.
Koch Pipeline Co. proposed the Dakota
Express Pipeline to transport Bakken crude from western North Dakota
to Illinois. It was expected to begin service in 2016 with an initial
capacity of 250,000 barrels per day.
After conducting an “open season,”
in which the pipeline company gauges interest from the industry,
Koch recently abandoned its plan for the project.
“The Dakota Express project is no
longer being pursued due to insufficient shipper interest,” said
Jake Reint, director of public affairs for Koch Pipeline Co.
Reint declined to comment further. MORE
