Saddle Butte Pipeline

Challenge

Saddle Butte Pipeline, LLC needed a faster, more efficient connection of incremental wellhead supply over a wide geographic area.

Solution

Saddle Butte Pipeline, LLC constructed parallel gas and crude oil gathering systems for the Bakken and Three Forks development programs in western North Dakota. The gathering systems utilized a main trunk line with central field compression at various central delivery points.

Bartlett & West provided right-of-way acquisition support by developing and acquiring survey permissions, easements and land acquisitions, permitting state, local, and county, along with survey, routing and the development of a GIS spatial database used to manage parcel acquisition.

Value

The client now has a main trunk line with central field compression, right-of-way acquisition and a GIS spatial database for parcel acquisition. These improvements have increased efficiency in the Saddle Butte Pipeline.
