Environmental Study. We are thoroughly surveying the pipeline’s route and are working with federal agencies to ensure there are no adverse effects to threatened or endangered species, or the habitat, during the construction and operation of the Blackfin Pipeline.
Environmental Permits. Once our environmental and cultural surveys are completed, we will begin the process for securing the necessary environmental permits from State and local agencies. The surveys will gather significant amounts of environmental data through field study and analysis, which we provide to regulators and permitting agencies as required.

Safe Construction. The safety of our personnel, landowners, and the surrounding communities is of the utmost importance throughout the construction process. Utilizing industry best practices, we ensure the Blackfin Pipeline is completed in a safe and secure manner.
Operation
Pre-Construction
Operation
Pipeline Inspection. Regular aerial surveillance of the line is performed to look for potential risks to the pipeline, including encroachment or other unauthorized activity on the right-of-way, as well as any other potentially concerning surface conditions along the pipeline. We also conduct regular foot patrol inspections along the entire route.
Pipeline Markers. Pipeline markers installed within line-of-sight on the pipeline route noting the general location of the pipeline, including at road, property, and creek crossings.
Remote Shutdown. Highly trained pipeline controllers can take real-time and nearly instantaneous action to remotely shut down a pipeline system if a problem is suspected, and the line can only be returned to operation after field personnel conduct a thorough visual inspection and correct the problem.
