Updates

September 25, 2014: Tallgrass pipeline system might expand

September 13, 2013: FERC approval; progress continues.  
The abandonment encompasses an approximately 430-mile section of natural gas pipeline from Guernsey, Wyoming to Lincoln County, Kansas, which is currently part of the Tallgrass Interstate Gas Transmission system.
Once the abandonment is complete, the 430-mile section of pipe will be converted and sold to a subsidiary of Tallgrass Development, LP. In conjunction with the conversion, Tallgrass Development, LP is also constructing a 260-mile extension from Lincoln County, Kansas to Cushing, Oklahoma. Upon completion of the conversion, transfer and new construction, the 690-mile Tallgrass Pony Express Pipeline (a subsidiary of Tallgrass Development, LP) will transport domestic light crude from the Bakken Shale, Denver-Julesburg and surrounding areas to Cushing, Oklahoma. “This is an important step in the process of the development of a key asset for Tallgrass and we are very pleased to have received the order from the FERC,” said Tallgrass’ President and CEO David Dehaemers. “We will continue to move forward with the project and currently expect the pipeline to begin transporting crude in the third quarter of 2014.”
