Project Profile
Value: US$215 Million
Location: From the Powder River Basin to the Midwest market
Capacity: 477 MMcf/d (expandability to 1 billion cubic feet per day)
Length: 302 miles
Start-up Year: January 14, 2011
Bison Pipeline entered commercial service on January 14, 2011. Bison is an interstate natural gas pipeline designed to transport gas from the Powder River Basin to the Midwest market. The pipeline provides producers in the Power River Basin with additional natural gas pipeline capacity to access and meet increasing natural gas demand of the Midwest.
Bison consists of approximately 302 miles of 30-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline and related pipeline system facilities that extend northeastward from the Dead Horse Region near Gillette, Wyoming, through southeastern Montana and southwestern North Dakota where it interconnects with Northern Border Pipeline Company’s (Northern Border) system near Northern Border’s Compressor Station No. 6 in Morton County, North Dakota. Bison currently has 407 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of operational capacity. Its design capacity with compression (approved but not yet constructed) is approximately 477 MMcf/d with potential expandability to approximately 1 billion cubic feet per day.
