Energy Transfer Announces Binding Supplemental Open Season for Bakken Pipeline Transport
Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP) today announced that Dakota Access, LLC (“Dakota Access”) and Energy Transfer
Crude Oil Company, LLC (“ETCO”) have launched a Binding Supplemental Open Season (“Supplemental Open Season”) to solicit
shipper commitments for transportation service for Bakken/Three Forks production to reach multiple markets through their respective
pipeline systems (collectively, the "Bakken Pipeline"). Dakota Access and ETCO, the entities responsible for developing, owning,
and operating the Bakken Pipeline, each anticipate that incremental transport capacity for Bakken/Three Forks production will be
determined based on committed subscriptions made by shippers during the Supplemental Open Season.
The Supplemental Open Season includes local tariff service on the Dakota Access pipeline from the Bakken/Three Forks play to
Patoka, Illinois. It also provides interested parties with the opportunity for joint tariff service from the Bakken/Three Forks
play to Nederland, Texas, through a commitment to both the Dakota Access and ETCO pipeline systems.
Supplemental Open Season Process
The Supplemental Open Season commenced at 12:00 p.m. (CDT) on March 29, 2017.
Bona fide potential shippers that desire to receive copies of the open season documents are required to execute a
