摘要

Washington—Energy Transfer’s 570,000 b/d Dakota Access Pipeline must stop service and be emptied of crude oil by August 5, a US appeals court judge ruled July 6 in an unexpected blow to the system that delivers Bakken production to Gulf Coast refiners and exporters. The ruling by US District Court for the District of Columbia Judge James Boasberg vacates DAPL’s permit allowing it to cross the Missouri River at Lake Oahe in North Dakota.
