Line Section 7 Expansion
Project Overview
The Line Section 7 Expansion Project consists of approximately 10.8 miles of new pipeline to Blue Flint LLC’s ethanol plant in McLean County, North Dakota. The project will provide incremental firm transportation service to Blue Flint so it can ensure a long-term reliable source of energy for its ethanol manufacturing needs.
In addition to installation of the lateral and new delivery station, a new take-off valve setting and three farm taps are proposed to be installed along the proposed route, along with upgrades to WBI Energy’s existing receipt facilities within the Glen Ullin Compressor Station to accommodate the increased natural gas capacity resulting from the project.
The project starts near Falkirk, North Dakota, and extends to a new delivery station in McLean County, North Dakota. Construction is anticipated to begin in April 2022. The pipeline is expected to be in service by July 2022.
