N.D. company to expand pipeline system, storage site

A Bismarck company is planning a more than $100 million expansion of its natural gas storage facility near Baker, Mont., just over the North Dakota border.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck company is planning a more than $100 million expansion of its natural gas storage facility near Baker, Mont., just over the North Dakota border.

Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Co., a unit of MDU Resources Group Inc., announced Tuesday that it plans to enlarge the natural gas storage capacity at the Montana facility, and expand its pipeline system in western North Dakota to move more gas to markets in the Midwest.

Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline says the facility in Montana is the largest natural gas storage field in North America. The company says the proposed project would more than double the facility's capacity to deliver natural gas.

The project is slated to be completed in April 2012.
