The Utopia East pipeline is a US$500 million common carrier project, which will include a new approximately 215-mile, 12-inch diameter pipeline constructed entirely within the State of Ohio from Harrison County to Fulton County. Under the Utopia East project, Kinder Morgan will develop, construct, own, and operate the pipeline from Harrison County, Ohio to Kinder Morgan’s existing pipeline and facilities in Fulton County, Ohio, where the company will then move product eastward to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The Utopia East system will transport previously refined or fractionated natural gas liquids, including ethane and ethane-propane mixtures.
The new Utopia East pipeline will connect with and utilize existing Kinder Morgan pipeline and facilities to move ethane and ethane-propane mixtures eastward to Windsor, Ontario. The Utopia East pipeline system will have an initial capacity of 50,000 barrels per day (bpd). The pipeline capacity can be expanded to more than 75,000 bpd with the construction of additional pump stations.
