CenterPoint Energy, XTO Energy Sign Crude-Gathering Pact in Bakken Shale

Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) unit XTO Energy Inc. agreed to gather Bakken shale oil production into a new crude oil gathering system being built by a subsidiary of CenterPoint Energy Inc. (CNP), the companies said Tuesday.The agreement is the first secured for the proposed pipeline, which will have a capacity to gather 19,500 barrels per day. It underscores the rapid buildup of infrastructure taking place in the shale plays that are underpinning a big boost in U.S. oil output.The Bakken shale is located in North Dakota, and has turned the state into the second-largest producer of crude after Texas. Limited infrastructure in the region has led many producers there to ship their oil via rail, and the bottleneck has produced a discount in the price of crude extracted in the region.Write to Angel Gonzalez at angel.gonzalez@dowjones.comOrder free Annual Report for CenterPoint Energy, Inc.Visit http://djnewswires.ar.wilink.com/?link=CNP or call 1-888-301-0513Order free Annual Report for Exxon Mob...
