Background

The project will be designed to move natural gas bi-directionally between multiple receipt points and multiple delivery points, including storage, throughout multiple states in the Western Energy Corridor.

In July and August of 2018, Magnum Energy Midstream Holdings LLC held a non-binding open season for the pipeline.

There have been no development updates sine the open season in the summer of 2018 and the project was presumed to be shelved. The project has now been cancelled.
