Quick Facts About Dakota Access Pipeline

The Dakota Access Pipeline will connect the Bakken and Three Forks production areas in North Dakota to existing pipelines in Illinois. The pipeline will enable 100 percent domestically produced light sweet crude oil from North Dakota to reach major refining markets in a more direct, cost-effective, safer and responsible manner. The pipeline will also reduce the current use of rail and truck transportation to move Bakken crude oil to major U.S. markets to support American energy needs.
