President Donald Trump issued a permit authorizing Steel Reef Infrastructure to operate and maintain an existing NGL pipeline at the border between Canada and Burke County, North Dakota, according to a memorandum released by the White House on June 30.
Steel Reef Infrastructure is a Canadian company. The site on the U.S. side is operated by its affiliate Steel Reef U.S. Pipelines. The 8.625-inch pipeline delivers NGLs from the U.S. to Canada and is already in the ground, according to the memorandum.
The company requested an amendment to its original permit in 2022. Steel Reef has 1,678 miles of pipelines and 17 facilities in the U.S. and Canada.
