Background

From the Tallgrass websitre: Tallgrass Energy formed a joint venture with Silver Creek Midstream in 2018 – the Powder River Gateway, LLC – which owns the Iron Horse Pipeline, the Powder River Express Pipeline (PRE) and crude oil terminal facilities in Guernsey, Wyo. Both Iron Horse and PRE transport crude oil produced in the Powder River Basin from Silver Creek’s Pronghorn Terminal to Guernsey, where the crude oil has access to Tallgrass' Pony Express crude pipeline system and two other takeaway pipelines. Tallgrass operates the Powder River Gateway joint venture and owns 51 percent; Silver Creek owns 49 percent.

The pipeline is expandable up to 125,000 barrels per day.
