US EditionBLM Approves 74-Mile Natural Gas Pipeline From Helena to Three Forks
- On Friday, the Bureau of Land Management approved NorthWestern Energy's proposal to construct a 74-mile gas pipeline connecting Helena and Three Forks, completing an expedited 14-day environmental review.
- This approval comes in response to a nationwide energy crisis identified by the Trump administration, which led to expedited federal measures to enhance energy infrastructure.
- NorthWestern Energy will build the 16-inch steel pipeline expected to start construction in 2027 and enter service by July 2029, improving reliability and system redundancy.
- The approval demonstrates BLM's dedication to enhancing energy independence in the U.S. by promoting responsible resource development on public lands that supports employment and local economies, according to a statement from the agency's leadership.
- NorthWestern still requires approval from multiple federal and state agencies, and officials anticipate that the pipeline will enhance the region’s energy resources and provide employment opportunities once it is up and running.
