Background

Kansas Express was a proposed oil pipeline from Coldwater, Kansas, to Cushing, Oklahoma. Initially, the Kansas Express pipeline was planned to be approximately 12 inches in diameter, with capacity based on projected demand. Future phases of the project were expected to extend the pipeline north to Gove County, Kansas, and east to Kingman County, Kansas. The pipeline was proposed to be in service by January 2014, but as of 2017 there have been no news of the pipeline since 2013, and it appears to be abandoned.
