WILLISTON – The North Dakota Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing in Williston on March 6, regarding a proposal for a natural gas liquids pipeline in Williams County.

ONEOK Bakken Pipeline, LLC, is proposing to construct an approximately 75-mile-long pipeline, with an estimated throughput of 30,000 barrels per day. The project would also include the installation of four mainline block valves. The pipeline would transport a mixture of ethane, propane, butanes, iso-butane mix, pentanes and natural gasoline. The estimated cost of the project is $100 million.

The pipeline would originate at the Hess Corporation’s Tioga Gas Processing Plant and go west to end at an interconnection with ONEOK’s Stateline to Riverview NGL pipeline.

The hearing begins at 9 a.m. at the City of Williston Public Works and Engineering Department.
