Overview
The proposed project increases capacity to Opal, a major regional natural gas hub in Wyoming. This allows for additional gas production to meet growing regional and West Coast demand. This project will be regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the 7 (c) application filing process to ensure thorough consultation and cooperation with other state, local and federal regulatory agencies, and community stakeholders.
Once approved by FERC, the expansion project will add a total of approximately 325M dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of pipeline capacity to the MountainWest system by the fourth-quarter of 2025.
