Federal judge rules the Dakota Access oil pipeline must be shut down pending a safety review in a victory for the Standing Rock tribe who have protested for years

The pipeline was the subject of months of protests, sometimes violent, during its construction near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border.


The underground pipeline was built underneath the Missouri River. The tribe draws its water from the river and fears pollution.

The Standing Rock tribe presses litigation against the pipeline even after it began carrying oil from North Dakota across South Dakota and Iowa and to a shipping point in Illinois in June 2017.

Tribal Chairman Mike Faith called it a historic day for the Standing Rock Sioux and for those who have protested against the $3.8billion, 1,172-mile underground pipeline that crosses beneath the Missouri River, just north of the reservation.

The tribe draws its water from the river and fears pollution.

'This pipeline should have never been built here. We told them that from the beginning,' Faith said in a statement.

Jan Hasselman, an attorney for the Standing Rock tribe, tweeted news of Boasberg's ruling and said: 'Stunning.'

Texas-based Energy Transfer, the pipeline owner, has insisted the pipeline would be safe.

It didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment about Boasberg’s ruling.

At $40 oil, mosT, if not all, of Shale producers cannot afford to get it out of the ground.    This is a non-issue until price increase dramatically.

Canadian oils sands are even more fucked.

Maybe, but that transition won't happen overnight.  Takes time (and hundreds of millions of capital investment) to build the tank cars, terminals, and track capacity to do it.  And without a long-term commitment from the shippers, no railroad is going to do that.  And what shipper is going to walk away from an existing pipeline (sunk cost) until all of the legal options have been exhausted?

Since he owns the trains they'll use and not the pipeline I'll bet he at least contributes some of the money.

How much do you want to bet they don't own the mineral rights?

How much do you want to bet their only real interest is in trying to extort some payoff from the oil company and Buffett was willing to pay the tribe more than the oil company?

Terminals and tracks are already there.  DAPL was taking their business.  This puts the hurt on the Bakken.  Adds about a $5/bbl transportation cost above what the WTI price is.  DAPL had evened that differential out a bit.

Interesting Rez politics at play.  DAPL crosses the Fort Berthold Rez, which also has oil.  So that Rez is loving it.  Meanwhile downstream the Standing Rock Rez got shit.  Standing Rock Rez is nuts. And the DAPL intentionally avoided them for obvious reasons.  Money won't buy them.  If you give them $100 on the condition a white man gets $1 they will tell you to F off.  

In my opinion DAPL F'd this up.  They got cute by zig zagging around the Rez.  They should of stayed 25 miles away from the Rez, not 1 mile.

Buffet has always relied on investing in de facto monopolies. Originally, in companies that dominated be competitive advantage features such as CocaCola, See’s Candies, etc. But around Obama time or some years before he discovered the ultimate monopolies are government regulated or enforced. He much prefers using legal wrangling to establish investing advantage rather than find competitive advantages in the actual product or service. This makes him the worst kind of parasite and corrupter.

So this ruling is a real fuckin' pain in the ass.  To comply with the court order the pipeline has to be shutdown immediately and the process of draining hundreds of miles needs to start to meet the 30 day deadline.

Prior to COVID the pipeline was moving 40% of the oil in ND, currently is it moving about 60%.  The costs and logistics to make this happen are ridiculous.

The legal shitshow is going to drag on for a while I am sure.
