Minnesota Pipeline

Minnesota Pipeline

The Minnesota Pipeline (or Minnesota Pipe Line) is a crude oil pipeline that runs from Clearbrook, Minnesota southward to the Twin Cities. It is operated by Koch Pipeline Company, a subsidiary of Koch Industries. The pipeline is largely fed by the Enbridge Pipeline System that carries crude from Alberta, Canada.

The line splits into two parts at a junction in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. One branch serves the Pine Bend Refinery owned by Flint Hills Resources (another Koch subsidiary) in Rosemount. The other portion of the line runs to Northern Tier Energy's St. Paul Park Refinery in St. Paul Park, Minnesota.

There is a connection at the Pine Bend Refinery to the Wood River Pipeline, which currently carries crude oil from the St. Louis, Missouri area to Minnesota.

Minnesota Pipeline has completed a parallel 24-inch (610 mm) line to expand the pipeline capacity from Clearbrook to the Twin Cities by 165,000 barrels (26,200 m3) per day with ultimate potential expansion to 350,000 bbl/d (56,000 m3/d).
