    North Dakota Pipeline Authority Annual Report July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 Industrial Commission of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Chairman Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring North Dakota Pipeline Authority Annual Report July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 Overview At the request of the North Dakota Industrial Commission, the Sixtieth Legislature passed House Bill 1128 authorizing the North Dakota Pipeline Authority. It was signed into law on April 11, 2007. The statutory mission of the Pipeline Authority is “to diversify and expand the North Dakota economy by facilitating development of pipeline facilities to support the production, transportation, and utilization of North Dakota energy-related commodities, thereby increasing employment, stimulating economic activity, augmenting sources of tax revenue, fostering economic stability and improving the State’s economy”. As established by the Legislature, the Pipeline Authority is a builder of last resort, meaning private business would have the first opportunity to invest in and/or build additional needed pipeline infrastructure. By law, the Pipeline Authority membership is comprised of the members of the North Dakota Industrial Commission. Upon the recommendation of the Oil and Gas Research Council, the Industrial Commission authorized the expenditure of up to $325,000 during the 2017-2019 biennium for the Pipeline Authority with funding being made available from the Oil and Gas Research Fund. On August 1, 2008 the Industrial Commission named Justin J. Kringstad, an engineering consultant, to serve as Director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority. The North Dakota Pipeline Authority Director works closely with Lynn Helms, Department of Mineral Resources Director, Ron Ness, North Dakota Petroleum Council President and Karlene Fine, Industrial Commission Executive Director.

  • 2018 Management's Discussion and Analysis Alliance Pipeline Limited Partnership 2018 Management’S Discussion and Analysis
    Alliance Pipeline Limited Partnership 2018 Management's Discussion and Analysis Alliance Pipeline Limited Partnership 2018 Management’s Discussion and Analysis The Alliance System The Alliance System (“System”) consists of a 3,849 kilometre (“km”) (2,392 mile) integrated Canadian and United States (“U.S.”) natural gas transmission pipeline, delivering rich natural gas from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (“WCSB”) and the Williston Basin in North Dakota to the natural gas market in Chicago. The System has been in commercial service since December 2000 and currently delivers an average of 1.7 billion cubic feet per day (“bcf/d”) of rich gas to the Aux Sable natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) extraction facility, owned by Aux Sable Liquid Products L.P. (“Aux Sable”), an affiliate of Alliance Pipeline Limited Partnership (“Alliance Canada”). Rich gas is natural gas with relatively high NGLs content; mainly ethane, propane, butane and condensates. The System connects with the Aux Sable NGLs extraction facility in Channahon, Illinois, which extracts NGLs from the natural gas transported before delivery to downstream pipelines. The pipeline connects in the Chicago area, through its downstream header, with five interstate natural gas pipelines and two local natural gas distribution systems, which provide shippers with access to natural gas markets in the Midwest, the Northeast, and the Gulf Coast of the U.S., and Eastern Canada. All shippers have signed extraction agreements that give Aux Sable the right to extract the NGLs from the rich gas transported. The System also has three connections, two in North Dakota and one in Iowa, to provide for deliveries of small amounts of natural gas to ethanol production plants.
