Bear Paw Energy
Bear Paw Energy, LLC has natural gas gathering, processing and fractionation operations in the Williston Basin in Montana, North Dakota and Saskatchewan, Canada, as well as natural gas gathering operations in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. Bear Paw's facilities interconnect indirectly to the interstate natural gas pipeline grid, which serve markets in the Rocky Mountains, Midwest and California.
In the Williston Basin, Bear Paw has approximately 3,700 miles of gathering pipelines with approximately 80 million cubic feet per day of capacity at four processing plants. Most of the wells connected to the facilities produce casinghead gas in association with crude oil. This natural gas is generally high in natural gas liquids, which are separated from the natural gas at the processing plants, fractionated into individual components and sold.
Bear Paw’s Powder River Basin gathering business in Northeast Wyoming includes approximately 400 miles of high- and low-pressure gathering pipelines, 65 compressor stations with approximately 135,000 installed horsepower and long-term volumetric contracts with producers covering nearly 400,000 acres of dedicated reserves. Bear Paw's Powder River Basin revenue is derived primarily under fee-based gathering agreements.
