ONEOK to expand pipeline from Kansas to Denver

Oklahoma energy company ONEOK plans to expand its pipeline capacity connecting Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refined products supply with the greater Denver area to meet growing demand in that region.

The project involves the construction of a new 230-mile, 16-inch diameter pipeline from Scott City, Kansas, to Denver International Airport (DIA). Further, it includes the upgrading of certain pump stations along the existing refined products pipeline system.

The total system capacity will increase by 35,000 barrels per day (bpd) and will have additional expansion capabilities. The project is expected to cost approximately $480 million. The anticipated completed date will be sometime in mid-2026.

“ONEOK is uniquely positioned to help meet the growing demand for refined products and renewable fuels across the greater Denver area of Colorado,” Pierce Norton II, ONEOK president and CEO, said. “This project will provide additional needed capacity for various transportation fuels, including aviation and sustainable aviation fuel to support increasing demand from the expansion of Denver International Airport. This announcement is another example of the attractive-return growth opportunities ahead of us following the acquisition of our refined products and crude oil businesses.”

ONEOK, based in Tulsa, is a leading midstream operator that provides gathering, processing, fractionation, transportation and storage services. Through its more than 50,000-mile pipeline network, the company transports natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), refined products, and crude oil.
