Background

The MoGas Pipeline started operations in 2008, via the integration of three existing pipeline systems: Missouri Interstate Gas (MIG), Missouri Gas Company (MGC) and Missouri Pipeline Company (MPC).

MoGas Pipeline LLC, as of 2014 a wholly-owned subsidiary of CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, owned an approximately 263-mile FERC-regulated interstate natural gas pipeline system in Missouri and Illinois. MoGas has pipeline connections with the Rockies Express Gas Pipeline, the Panhandle Eastern Gas Pipeline, and Enable Gas Transmission. CorEnergy acquired the MoGas Pipeline LLC in November 2014 from Energy Investors Fund for US$125 million.

In May 2023, Spire Inc. agreed to acquire the MoGas Pipeline LLC and the Omega fossil gas distribution system from CorEnergy for an estimated US$175 million in cash. The deal was expected to close at the end of Q3 2023.

Expansion projects

MoGas Expansion Project

The expansion project would increase the transportation capacity of the existing system in Missouri, with no new miles of pipeline.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, as of April 2021 the project had been announced but had not received FERC approval.
