Project Description

The Western Frontier Pipeline was originally designed as a 400 mile, 30" pipeline with 30,000 HP of compression, designed to transport up to 540,000 dth/d from the Cheyenne Hub south to the Denver-Julesberg basin, then on to the mid-continent region terminating in Beaver County, Oklahoma. Potential major interconnects include Southern Star Central in Grant County, Kansas and Beaver County, Oklahoma, as well as ANR Pipeline, Northern Natural Pipeline, Natural Gas Pipeline, and Panhandle Eastern Pipeline. These major interstate pipelines have takeaway design capacity in excess of 6 Bcfd. Western Frontier also may provide convenient access to the Kansas and Oklahoma intrastate systems. The pipeline contemplated would have an initial capacity ranging from 540,000 Dth/d to 1,000,000 Dth/d, which will be determined by market interest, and could be economically expanded by adding additional compression. Currently SSC anticipates contracts for a minimum 10-year term with competitive rates in the $0.25 -$0.35 range will support the project economics. SSC expects that a larger project would capture economies of scale that would result in the most favorable rates.

Additionally, Southern Star is evaluating a potential expansion of its facilities from the Wamsutter/Echo Springs area to the Cheyenne Hub. Interested parties should indicate contract quantities and the rate they would be willing to pay for incremental service from this expansion. Southern Star would then evaluate the economics required to support this expansion.
