PSC Schedules Public Hearing in Bowman for Proposed Pipeline Project

BISMARCK, ND - The North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC) will hold a public hearing in Bowman on Thursday, February 6, regarding a proposal for a carbon dioxide pipeline in Slope and Bowman Counties.

Denbury Green Pipeline-Montana, LLC, is proposing to construct an approximately 9.23 mile-long carbon dioxide pipeline with approximately 2.29 miles in Slope County and 6.94 miles located in Bowman County. The pipeline would be a 12-inch diameter pipeline with a maximum flow rate of 180 million cubic feet per day. The pipeline would transport carbon dioxide from a pipeline in Fallon County, Mont., to Denbury's oil production facilities in Bowman, N.D. The project would provide for tertiary oil recovery from Denbury's production wells through the injection of carbon dioxide into the oil reservoir with the goal to increase oil extraction. The estimated cost of the project is $9.2 million.

The pipeline would start in Montana and run in an easterly direction entering North Dakota in the southwestern corner of Slope County and ending at Denbury's receiving facility in Bowman County. (Note to the media: A map showing the proposed location of the project has been provided to you for use with any announcements/stories you print.)

Details for the public hearing are as follows:

• Thursday, February 6, 2020 - 9 a.m. Mountain (10 a.m. Central) Bowman Lodge & Convention Center
  207 West Highway 12, Bowman, ND 58623

The hearing provides an opportunity for members of the public to contribute to the PSC's official record. Any comments from members of the public must be received at the hearing to be part of the record. People with concerns, questions or support/opposition for the project are encouraged to attend the hearing and present their information.
