Kinder Morgan Extends Open Season on the $4 billion Utica Marcellus Texas Pipeline Project
Kinder Morgan, the largest energy infrastructure company in the United States, will extend the current binding open season to review interest in the estimated $4 billion Utica Marcellus Texas Pipeline (UMTP).
The proposed project, entailing the conversion of 964 miles of the Tennessee Gas Pipeline, the construction of some 200 miles of new pipeline from Louisiana to Texas as well as new storage facilities in Ohio and 120 miles of new laterals to connect with the Utica and Marcellus basins, will transport propane, butanes, natural gasoline, y-grade and condensate in batches along the system, with a maximum design capacity of 430,000 barrels per day.
“We continue to receive strong interest from shippers for this opportunity to transport products from the Utica and Marcellus basins to the Gulf Coast,” said Don Lindley, president of KMI’s Natural Gas Liquids (NGL), Products Pipelines. “This extension allows Kinder Morgan to align our transportation solution with shipper interests based on the feedback we’ve received on the project.”
The pipeline is expected to be in service during the fourth quarter of 2018.
