Dakota Access Pipeline Project (DAPL)
Introduction
This is an 1886km underground oil pipeline in project in America. This project was

unveiled to the public in June 2014 following other numerous issues that followed it. The
Energy Transfer Partners project comprises of various key personnel such as Phillips 66,
Enbridge and Marathon Petroleum. This is one of the major historic projects that have been
associated with a lot of controversies. For example, there have been numerous concerns about
the implications of the project to the environment by a number of Americans who live in Iowa
and Dakota; who see the project being of detrimental impacts t the environment (Petroski, 2015).
Brief description of the project
This pipeline has been designed to carry over four hundred barrels of crude oil per day.
This capacity has been increased up to five hundred barrels. The estimated costs f the pipeline by
the relevant project managers was around $4.6 billion. The Energy Transfer Partners had a huge
estimation of the number of temporary jobs that were to be created by the project hence an
economic boost to America and the world at large (Petroski, 2015). The purpose of the project
was meant to aid in the outlet transfer of oil then later on distributed to other parts of the world.
There is a belief that this project would improve public safety and ensure that America is
independent in terms of energy. This pipeline runs from North Dakota Bakken (Bakken is the
original place of oil fields), crossing over fifty states in America.

Initially, this project had stalled under the Obama administration but the actual

continuing process of project completion has been linked to a number of encouraging factors
(Petroski, 2015). There are various categories of people who are likely to benefit from the
project; driven by the fact that this is a huge oil pipeline project that was to have huge economic
implications in the United States of America and the globe at large.
President Donald Trump issued an official statement that this project is meant to create
over twenty five thousand jobs in the United States of America; a great boost to the economy of
the US. This is in conjunction with his campaign manifesto of making America Great Again and
‘employ an American’ philosophy. Another official statement from the owner is very clear that
this project would also create extra one hundred thousand jobs outside the United States of
America; being a huge incentive as to why the project was necessary to precede (Petroski, 2015).
The towns around the region of construction of the pipeline are likely to see huge blooms
of businesses; substantiated by the fact that there will workers staying in the lodgings, money
being spend on food and entertainment. This has already happened along the Dakota Access
Corridor; even though the business boom was temporary (Healy, 2016). The ability to create
these temporary jobs was the fuelling factor behind the implementation of the oil pipeline
project.
The ability to generate local tax revenue is another fuelling factor for the project. This
