ONEOK Expanding Pipeline Capacity to Greater Denver Area
OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- ONEOK, Inc. today announced plans to expand its
pipeline capacity connecting Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refined products
supply with the greater Denver area to meet growing demand and increase
connectivity with Denver International Airport.
The approximately $480 million project includes construction of a new
230-mile, 16-inch diameter pipeline from Scott City, Kansas, to DIA and the
addition or upgrading of certain pump stations along the existing refined
products pipeline system. Total system capacity will increase by 35,000 bpd and
will have additional expansion capabilities. The project is expected to be
completed in mid-2026. Following the close of an open season earlier this year,
the project is fully subscribed under long-term contracts.
"ONEOK is uniquely positioned to help meet the growing demand for refined
products and renewable fuels across the greater Denver area of Colorado," said
Pierce H. Norton II, ONEOK president and CEO. "This project will provide
additional needed capacity for various transportation fuels, including aviation
and sustainable aviation fuel to support increasing demand from the expansion
of Denver International Airport."
Norther continued, "This announcement is another example of the
attractive-return growth opportunities ahead of us following the acquisition of
our refined products and crude oil businesses. We remain focused on addressing
growing energy demand while maintaining our commitment to safe and reliable
operations."
