Project Details

• Operator: Koch Industries
• Proposed capacity: 250,000 barrels per day

Background

In July 2013, Koch Pipeline Co. launched the first phase of a non-binding open season for the proposed pipeline, soliciting expressions of interest from potential shippers. The pipeline was expected to offer a capacity of 250,000 barrels per day, with an in-service date in 2016.

In January 2014, Koch Pipeline Co. canceled the Dakota Express Oil Pipeline.
