October 24, 2025--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--A binding commitment open season began Monday for a proposed refined product pipeline into California, but it is not scheduled to begin operating until 2029, leaving potential near-term fuel shortfalls in place when two refineries in the Golden State close over the next year. The open season will run until noon (Central Time) on December 19.
As proposed, the Western Gateway Pipeline Project, a partnership between pipeline giants Phillips 66 (Houston, Texas) and Kinder Morgan, Incorporated (Houston), will include construction of a 1,300-mile grassroot pipeline from Borger, Texas to Phoenix Arizona, plus reversals of existing pipeline flows in the Midwest and Southern California. The pipeline is expected to transport up to 200,000 barrels per day (BBL/d) of refined fuel.
