Tallgrass Energy’s Cheyenne Connector pipeline and the Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) Cheyenne Hub Enhancement Project commenced commercial service June 26, 2020.
Tallgrass owns 50 percent and operates Cheyenne Connector; DCP Midstream, the D-J Basin’s leading provider of integrated gathering, processing and logistics assets, owns the other 50 percent.
“We’re delighted to bring these projects in service safely. This is a win for Colorado producers and for Tallgrass, as Cheyenne Connector provides much-needed incremental takeaway capacity from the D-J Basin,” said Crystal Heter, Tallgrass Energy’s Segment President - Natural Gas Transportation.
“The REX Cheyenne Hub Enhancement Project provides Colorado producers connectivity to bring their natural gas into the REX pipeline at Cheyenne Hub and from there to markets across the country never before available to D-J production,” added Heter.
“Cheyenne Connector not only expands market access for D-J Basin natural gas, but fully unlocks the production potential of this premier basin for years to come. With Cheyenne Connector now in-service, we are excited to further integrate our value chain to better serve our producer customers and create new cash flows,” said Corey Walker, President of Operations for DCP Midstream.
The 70-mile, 36-inch diameter Cheyenne Connector is fully subscribed at 600 MMcf/d, with additional expansion capacity available. The pipeline receives natural gas from processing facilities in southern Weld County, Colo., in the D-J Basin and delivers it to the REX Cheyenne Hub just south of the Wyoming border, where numerous other natural gas pipelines interconnect with REX.
The REX Cheyenne Hub was modified to allow it to receive natural gas from interconnecting pipelines and to enable bi-directional capability at several existing interconnects. It is currently subscribed to 800 MMcf/d, 200 MMcf/d of which is anticipated to be placed in-service in the fourth quarter of 2020. The REX Cheyenne Hub Enhancement Project has additional expansion capability beyond the 800 MMcf/d subscribed. Natural gas connecting to the REX Cheyenne Hub can then be transported to numerous demand markets across the country on REX and through downstream interconnected pipelines.
