Utopia East Pipeline Project
Fact Sheet
•
Kinder Morgan Utopia LLC proposes to develop, construct, own and operate a new pipeline system
through its Utopia East project, subject to receipt of applicable permits and approvals. The new
pipeline system will transport previously refined or fractionated products across Ohio and Michigan,
ending at Windsor, Ontario.
•
As previously announced by NOVA Chemicals Corporation (NOVA), NOVA has executed a longterm transportation agreement with Kinder Morgan to support the approximately $500 million Utopia
East system, 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. The new pipeline facilities
will then connect with and utilize Kinder Morgan’s existing pipeline and facilities to move ethane and
ethane-propane mixtures eastward to Windsor, Ontario. These ethane and ethane-propane mixtures
are initially planned to be used primarily as a feedstock for producing plastics.
•
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.
•
The construction of the new build portion of the pipeline will generate approximately 900 local union
construction jobs and an estimated five full-time permanent positions in Ohio. The economic impact
of construction will be significant as workers will reside locally and rely upon local businesses,
contractors and support services during the construction period.
•
A number of federal and state agencies will be involved in the approval and oversight of the project,
including the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency. The rates, terms and conditions for transportation of the products by pipeline will
be governed by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission tariffs for product movements in the U.S.
and by National Energy Board tariffs for product movements in Canada.
Estimated timeline:
•
Outreach meetings – Ongoing
•
Survey activities– Ongoing
•
Pipeline construction start date – November 2016
•
Proposed full in-service date – January 2018
