ONEOK to expand refined products pipeline to greater Denver area

ONEOK Inc., Tulsa, Okla., plans to expand its pipeline capacity connecting Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refined products supply with the greater Denver area to meet growing demand and increase connectivity with Denver International Airport (DIA).

The project—expected to cost $480 million and be completed in mid-2026—includes construction of a new 230-mile, 16-in. OD pipeline from Scott City, Kan., to DIA and the addition or upgrading of certain pump stations along the existing refined products pipeline system, the company said in a release July 18. Total system capacity will increase by 35,000 b/d and will have additional expansion capabilities.

Following the close of an open season earlier this year, the project is fully subscribed under long-term contracts.
