Project Description
Entrega is a new open access natural gas pipeline developed to move Rocky Mountain gas production to Midwest markets
FERC regulated interstate pipeline; developed with cooperation of Bureau of Land Management and other Federal and State Agencies
Runs from Meeker Hub in Rio Blanco County, CO through Wamsutter, WY to the Cheyenne Hub near Rockport, CO
FERC certificate includes capacity of 1,500 MMcf/d, developed in 2 phases
– Phase 1 approximately 750 MMcf/d (free flow)
– Phase 2 incremental 750 MMcf/d (compression)
Description of Facilities
Project includes 136 miles of 36-inch pipeline and 191 miles of 42-inch pipeline
Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) of the system is 1,480 psig
Route chosen to minimize environmental impact; 94% is adjacent to existing pipeline and utility right-of-way
Phase 2 will include 3 compressor stations; Meeker (11,000 HP), Big Hole (22,000 HP), and Wamsutter (14,000 HP)
Eight delivery/receipt meter stations at interconnects with existing pipelines, two at Meeker, two at Wamsutter, and four at Cheyenne Hub
