Williams’ Northwest Pipeline GP has received authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to place its 24-inch diameter Colorado Hub Connection into service, it said. The 26.4-mile pipeline and related facilities connect the Meeker/White River Hub, a regional production area hub, with the Northwest Pipeline mainline south of Rangely, CO. The project will provide approximately 360,000 Dth/d of firm service on Northwest’s mainline to delivery points as far south as Ignacio, CO. At Ignacio Northwest interconnects with El Paso Natural Gas and Transwestern Pipeline Co. The cost of the project was approximately $60 million. “Completion of the Colorado Hub makes it possible for us to connect the Piceance Basin supplies with markets in the western U.S. through Northwest’s existing mainline system,” said Phil Wright, president of Williams’ gas pipeline business. In August 2007 Northwest conducted an open season for the project and filed an application for a FERC certificate in September 2008. Williams Pipeline Partners LP owns a 35% interest in Northwest Pipeline GP.
