Expansion projects

Expansion

According to June 2020 data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the capacity will increase from 280,000 barrels per day to 370,000 barrels per day as a result of additional pumping to accommodate increasing volumes on the Front Range Y-Grade Pipeline and growth in Anadarko.

The expansion entered operations in the second quarter of 2020.
