Energy Transfer LP (ET) has announced that its subsidiaries Dakota Access, LLC and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO) launched a Binding Expansion Open Season to solicit shipper commitments for expanded transportation service from the Bakken/Three Forks play in North Dakota to storage terminals located in Patoka, Illinois and Nederland, Texas through their respective pipeline systems (collectively, the ‘Bakken Pipeline System’). Dakota Access and ETCO anticipate that incremental capacity on the Bakken Pipeline System will be determined based on committed subscriptions made by shippers during the Expansion Open Season. The Bakken Pipeline System is operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer Operating, L.P.

The Expansion Open Season commenced at 2.00 pm (Central Time) on 19 October 2018.
