Project Description
The Sundance Trail Expansion received a certificate from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in December 2009 approving construction and operation of approximately 15.5 miles of 30-inch diameter mainline loop to bring additional natural gas supplies from the Piceance Basin to the Opal Hub in Wyoming.
Construction of the pipeline in Lincoln County, Wyo. will begin in August 2010, and the project will be in-service in November 2010. The contractor for the project is Quanta Price Gregory Services, Inc., with headquarters in Houston, Tex.
The project will provide 150,000 dekatherms per day of firm transportation capacity from the Greasewood and Meeker/White River Hubs in Rio Blanco County, Colo. to the Opal Hub in Wyo. In addition, the project will replace and enhance Northwest’s compression facilities at the Vernal Compressor Station in Uintah County, Utah.
The Sundance Trail Expansion will meet the demand from producers to provide transportation capacity to move gas from one of the fastest-growing gas production fields in the Rockies to markets in the western U.S. At the Opal Hub, producers have access to six interstate pipelines, including Northwest, which provides significant supply options for transporting natural gas.
