What is the Rockies Express Pipeline — East project?
Rockies Express Pipeline — East Project (REX — East) is the easternmost extension of the Rockies Express Pipeline (REX) system. REX — East will traverse approximately 638 miles from Audrain County, Missouri, to Monroe County, Ohio. When complete, the 42-inch-diameter, underground steel pipeline system will carry between 1.5 billion and 2.0 billion cubic feet of gas per day from supply-rich areas of Colorado and Wyoming to natural gas markets in the Midwest and Eastern United States. Portions of the REX — East pipeline route parallel existing pipeline and utility corridors. REX — East uses siting guidelines developed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). REX — East will also construct compressor stations along the pipeline route. The natural gas will be re-pressurized at these locations and moved through the system.
