Why the Iowa portion of Midwest oil pipeline could be delayed

The construction of a crude oil pipeline that would cross the Midwestern United States has hit a roadblock in Iowa amid lawsuits challenging the eminent domain process used to secure lands for the pipeline’s route.

Dakota Access, LLC, a subsidiary of Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners, is behind the Bakken Pipeline project. It's a conduit that would run underground from North Dakota’s Bakken oilfields to Patoka, Ill. carrying 570,000 barrels of oil per day.
