Background
The Iron Horse pipeline is a joint venture between Tallgrass Energy and Silver Creek Midstream. It transports crude oil from the growing Powder River Basin to the Guernsey, Wyoming oil hub. It runs approximately 80 miles. The 16-inch Iron Horse pipeline consists of 40 miles of new-build and 40 miles of gas-to-oil conversion pipe.[2]
At Guernsey, shippers have access to the Tallgrass Pony Express Pipeline and other pipelines accessible through Tallgrass Terminals’ Guernsey Terminal. Iron Horse has an initial capacity of approximately 100,000 barrels per day, expandable to 200,000 barrels per day.[2]
In May of 2019, Tallgrass Energy placed a temporary embargo of deliveries on its Tallgrass Iron Horse Pipeline due to extensive flooding on the Cimarron River in Oklahoma.[4]
