+Added: The ETS also requires any employee who is not fully vaccinated to wear a face covering at the workplace, effective January 20, 2022, and be subject to regular COVID-19 testing, effective February 9, 2022.

−Removed: To mitigate the risks associated with a potential shutdown of DAPL, we have proactively arranged for portions of our Williston Basin crude oil volumes to be sold at alternative outlets at fixed differentials to NYMEX WTI.
−Removed: In the event DAPL were to cease operating, we would anticipate Williston Basin crude oil prices to weaken materially before improving as the market adapts to rail transportation.
