Intensity Infrastructure Partners Launches Open Season for Phase II Extension Following Stakeholder Feedback on Proposed Bakken Natural Gas Pipeline
TULSA, Okla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Intensity Infrastructure Partners LLC (“Intensity”) announced today the launch of an open season for the Phase II Extension of the proposed Intensity Pipeline as a result of feedback gathered during its initial open season, held from February 3 to March 7, 2025, which highlighted significant interest and support from community leaders, government agencies and potential customers. Through this open season, Intensity seeks to identify potential customers desiring transportation of natural gas on the Phase II Extension.
The Phase II Extension includes the construction of an additional 208 miles of 30-inch diameter natural gas transmission pipeline, mainline compression, and various interconnection facilities to extend the Intensity Pipeline across eastern North Dakota. The Phase II Extension will interconnect with the to-be constructed Phase I pipeline in southern McLean County, North Dakota, and will terminate near Casselton, North Dakota with an estimated in-service date of January 1, 2030. Upon completion of both Phase I and Phase II, the pipeline will consist of 344 total miles of 36-inch and 30-inch diameter natural gas transmission pipeline with an initial capacity of approximately 1.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) and the capability to expand to 1.5 Bcf/d with additional compression. The final design of the Intensity Pipeline will depend on the results of this Phase II Extension Open Season.
The Phase II Extension Open Season begins at 9:00 a.m. CDT today, April 17, 2025, and is scheduled to end at 1:00 p.m. CDT on May 23, 2025.
