Summit carbon pipeline says it has 70% of needed easements in North Dakota – Agweek

The Summit Carbon Pipeline is claiming to have obtained the easement rights for 70% of the land it requires in North Dakota to construct its highly-anticipated pipeline.

The Summit Carbon Pipeline, a project of Summit Midstream Partners, LP, is aiming to construct a pipeline that would transport crude oil from the Bakken and Three Forks shale formations in North Dakota to Summit Prairie, South Dakota.

Recently, Summit has declared that it has obtained the easements necessary for 70% of the acreage in the state of North Dakota. Summit has received easement agreements from the landowners they have been negotiating with, and has said that it is “on track” to being able to reach its goal by the end of the year.

The Summit Carbon Pipeline is a major undertaking, and obtaining the easements necessary for it to be completed has been a long and arduous process. Summit has been engaged in negotiations with landowners in North Dakota for a number of years, working to convince them to sign on.

Although Summit is now claiming to have obtained the easement rights for 70% of the land it needs in North Dakota, the company still needs to obtain the remaining 30%. Summit has said that it is “confident” that it can reach its goal by the end of the year.

The Summit Carbon Pipeline is a major undertaking and has been met with both support and opposition. Supporters of the pipeline are hopeful that it will bring much-needed jobs and economic growth to the region, while opponents have argued that the pipeline could have a negative environmental impact.

The completion of the Summit Carbon Pipeline is still some time away, but Summit’s recent announcement that it has obtained the easement rights for 70% of the land it needs in North Dakota is a major step in the right direction.
