FERC has issued a favorable environmental assessment of Blue Sky Gas Storage LLC’s proposal to build a natural gas storage project in Logan County, CO, with proposed interconnects with the Rockies Express, Trailblazer and Kinder Morgan Interstate pipelines and access to Cheyenne Hub by backhaul on Trailblazer. The Blue Sky storage facility, which would be located north of Sterling, CO, would have working capacity of 4.4 Bcf, with the potential for expansion subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and market demand. It would be capable of delivering gas at a rate of 100 MMcf/d and receiving gas for injection at a rate of 100 MMcf/d. The central Rockies currently lacks sufficient storage capacity and the Blue Sky project would be an important addition to the market, said Blue Sky, an affiliate of Linear Energy Management LP, a privately owned midstream pipeline company.
