American Midstream Partners, LP (AMID) has announced it has entered a connection agreement with Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), the 1172 mile, 30 in. pipeline that extends from AMID’s Bakken formation production area in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois.
The new DAPL interconnect will tie into the company’s Bakken crude oil gathering system, which consists of interstate pipelines with the capacity to transport up to approximately 40,000 bpd of crude oil. In addition, AMID’s Bakken crude oil gathering system has crude oil trucking capabilities located near Watford City that provides greater producer access to market alternatives and offtake capabilities.
