Background

In February 2025, Intensity Infrastructure Partners launched an open season for a 136-mile, 42-inch diameter natural gas transmission pipeline with the capacity of approximately 1.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), originating in the Bakken producing region in western North Dakota and terminating in southern McLean County, North Dakota.[2]

In June 2025, Intensity announced a joint venture with Rainbow Energy Center to build a 344 mile gas pipeline across North Dakota in two phases. Phase I would be a 136 mile, 36 inch pipeline from Watford City to Washburn, ND, with a capacity of 1.1 Dth/d. Phase II would be a 208 mile, 30 inch pipeline from Washburn to Casselton, ND, with a capacity of 430,000 Dth/d. The target in-service date for the project was reported as July 2029.[1]
