Billing Line Replacement Project: Open Season

Aug. 31, 2011 – Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company (Williston Basin) is planning to replace 13.6 miles of pipeline on Line Section 22 of Williston Basin’s mainline system. The planned replacement will create up to 3,100 equivalent dkt per day of new firm transportation capacity for delivery of natural gas to existing delivery locations on Line Section 22 in and around Billings, Montana. The targeted in-service date of this replacement and resulting capacity increase is December 30, 2011, provided the necessary regulatory approvals are received and the facilities can be constructed by that date.

The line sections specified herein reflect the designations shown in the Maps section of Williston Basin’s FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1 (Tariff).

The Open Season will commence on August 8, 2011 and conclude at 4:00 PM Central Time on September 2, 2011. The Open Season is available to any party. All related Precedent Agreements must be executed by 4:00 PM Central Time on September 16, 2011.

Williston Basin is offering for sale up to 3,100 equivalent dkt per day of new firm transportation capacity for delivery of natural gas from existing receipt locations on Line Sections 19, 20, 21 and 22 on its mainline system to existing delivery locations on Line Section 22. It is estimated that only approximately 1,700 equivalent dkt per day of such capacity can be pathed from receipt locations on Line Sections 19, 20 and 21. Physical constraints may limit Williston Basin’s ability to accept certain receipt locations requested.
