How many barrels per day of Williston Basin oil will Keystone XL transport? Is Keystone important for the Bakken, or will other pipelines quickly pick up the slack if it is not built?
The Keystone XL is primarily for bringing in oil/bitumen from Canada. Some capacity capacity (100 out of 850 kBPD, if I remember) was reserved for it.
But keep in mind, Keystone XL doesn’t even go through ND, although it is close to the SW corner.
