Recent Successes

MountainWest Pipeline (MWP) held an open season from October 16, 2023 to November 16, 2023, to solicit bids for its proposed Uinta Basin Expansion (UBE) project. The UBE project would provide incremental firm transportation up to 113,300 Dth/d capacity from MWP’s Brundage Mountain meter station to the Chipeta Processing delivery point.

MWP has executed precedent agreements with the three winning bidders and filed a Prior Notice request with the FERC on January 16, 2024. MWP is targeting a July 1, 2024 in-service date for the UBE project facilities.
