Tallgrass Energy, LP announced that both the Cheyenne Connector pipeline and the Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) Cheyenne Hub Enhancement Project will commence commercial service effective June 26, 2020, having obtained approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on June 24, 2020. Tallgrass owns 50% and operates Cheyenne Connector; DCP Midstream, the D-J Basin’s leading provider of integrated gathering, processing and logistics assets, owns the other 50%. 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.
