Questar is holding an open season through June 26 to solicitinterest in a new pipeline to provide FT service for supplies inthe Wind River and Powder River Basins. Questar proposes to build aline with up to 300,000 dth/d of capacity and a projectedin-service date of Oct. 1, 2000. The route would begin near theMontana border at Recluse, WY and run south through the PowderRiver Basin, then southwest to Lost Cabin, WY and continuing toQuestar’s Kanda/Coleman/Nightingale compressor stations. From theregas could be delivered to Questar, Wyoming Interstate Co., CIG orOverthrust. Questar also is evaluating an alternative in which theline would run southeast from Powder River Basin to Chalk Bluffsnear Cheyenne, WY, where gas could be delivered into pipelinesserving the Midcontinent market. The pipeline said it would pickthe final route based on shippers’ desired receipt points. Itanticipates charging incremental rates.
