Colorado Interstate Gas Company Plans a New Pipeline Expansion

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Colorado Interstate Gas Company (Colorado Springs, Colorado), a subsidiary of El Paso Corporation (NYSE: EP)(Houston, Texas), is planning to expand natural gas transmission capacity on the existing pipeline from its Kim compressor station in Colorado to its Beaver County compressor station in Oklahoma. Colorado Interstate estimates that the Little Campo Lateral expansion will cost approximately $60 million. The company plans to begin construction in 2005.

The scope of the project entails looping its existing line between the two compressor stations, with 39-miles of 24"-diameter, 50-miles of 16"-diameter, and 5-miles of 20"-diameter pipeline. To provide adequate compression to move the predicted 100 million cubic feet a day of extra capacity, Colorado Interstate will modify several existing compressor stations. Colorado Interstate will add a caterpillar 3606 internal combustion engine compressor set, totaling 7,500 horsepower, to its Beaver County compressor station in Oklahoma, and will re-cylinder two existing units at its Kim and Trinidad compressor stations in Colorado.

Colorado Interstate expects to bid-out the construction contracts during the first quarter of 2005 and has targeted completion of the Little Campo Lateral project by June 1, 2005.
