With a low of 31 degrees and wind gusts up to 40 mph today, Casper, Wyo., is bracing for an even more brutal winter than usual. But inside the offices of Bridger Pipeline, things are heating up.
Bridger Pipeline
Belle Fourche, Bridger and Butte pipelines are a liquids pipeline operator that gathers and transports crude oil in the Williston Basin of western North Dakota and eastern Montana, and the Powder River Basin of Wyoming.
RMR is following news from pipeline developer Bridger, which just announced two expansion projects across ND., Mont., and Wyo., with one slated to begin by year end. The 137-mile South Bend Pipeline will straddle ND., and Mont., where it will connect with other systems to transport 150,000 bbls of oil per day to several markets. The instrastate Equality Pipeline will move 200,000 bbls of oil per day from Wyo., and connect with other pipelines, including Bridger’s proposed Liberty line, which will terminate at the Cushing, Okla., hub.
This comes as oil and gas production in the Bakken alone continues to break records. In August, the North Dakota leg produced 1.48 million Bbls of oil and more than 3 BCF of natural gas. Those numbers are expected to climb though the rest of the year with producers feeling their own kind of heat to get oil and gas supplies to market. Bundle up, Bridger. What do you think?

U.S. LNG Export Leaders Hold on Tight, Move Forward in a World of Recovery
Despite—or even in spite of—a pandemic that’s ravaged oil and gas demand across the globe, the U.S. remains on course to become the largest exporter of LNG in as little as five years. True, the world’s four LNG heavyweight suppliers (Qatar, Australia, the U.S., and Russia) all have reduced shipments due to decline in demand. This “ouch” period after more than two years of record growth, especially in the U.S. According to the EIA, the U.S. hit an all-time high in January of 8.1 BCFD LNG exported just before COVID-19 slammed the industry into a cliff.
