Tungsten to Bobtail Pipeline is an operating natural gas pipeline in Colorado, USA.[1]
Location
The pipeline will run from Boulder County, Colorado to Black Hawk, Colorado.[1]
Project details
- Owner: Xcel Energy[1]
- Capacity:
- Length: 24.1 kilometers / 15 miles[1][2]
- Status: Operating
- Start Year: 2020[3]
- Cost: $ 55.3 million[3]
Background
The pipeline is in the planning stages.[1]
In July of 2019, the Boulder County commission approved construction of the pipeline, but with stipulations requiring that Xcel Energy must report to the county any leaks found and repaired along the pipeline, plus share with the county any reports required by state and federal authorities. Xcel Energy is reportedly displeased with the stipulations, but will have to comply if they want to move forward with pipeline development.[4]
Construction of the pipeline was delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic but began in April 2020.[5] The pipeline was commissioned in late 2020.[6][3]
