Alliance Pipeline, which is owned by Veresen and Enbridge, is holding an open season to identify further shipper demand for its proposed 124 km, 12 inch diameter Tioga natural gas pipeline lateral in North Dakota, United States.
The Tioga Lateral will connect Hess Corporation’s Tioga field processing plant in the Bakken region of North Dakota to natural gas liquid processing facilities at the terminus of the 3,719 km, 42 inch diameter Alliance mainline system near Sherwood, North Dakota.
The pipeline, which will have an initial design capacity of approximately 120 MMcf/d, is expected to be in service by the third quarter of 2013, subject to regulatory and other required approvals.
A precedent agreement has been executed with Hess as an anchor shipper on the Tioga Lateral. Matching capacity on the Alliance mainline is included in the open season service offering. Alliance will also consider service requests requiring new Tioga Lateral receipt points as well as extension of the Tioga Lateral.
The open season for firm capacity on the Tioga Lateral and Alliance’s mainline will conclude on 27 October 2011.
