A Tandem Ride For Midstream, Engineering
Engineering gets a close-up as Midstream Business continues its in-depth look at the midstream industry’s most-vital segments.
Bakken Infrastructure Continues Rapid Expansion
Using rail versus pipeline, crude from the area is able to reach alternative markets from coast-to-coast.
Breaking The Bakken
Midstream operators face a major challenge as they respond to the Bakken’s rapidly growing output of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. The Williston basin play has emerged as a world-class producer, but it lies in a region where conventional production has been historically small with scant infrastructure in place. Watch for creative midstream responses to meet the demand this year and beyond.
Connecting The Dots
Haddington Ventures uses its private-capital expertise to determine where assets can best fit together to create the greatest opportunity for return.
Lighting The Demand For Propane

Promise In The Permian
The often overlooked Permian basin will soon feel some relief with the emergence of several midstream mega systems. And with those high profile—and high capacity—projects set to come online this year, many believe the best has yet to come for the play.
