Project summary

Audubon was contracted to perform the full right-of-way (ROW) scope for the Utopia pipeline project. The new pipeline facilities connect with and utilize Kinder Morgan’s existing pipeline and facilities to move ethane and ethane-propane mixtures eastward to Windsor, Ontario. These ethane and ethane-propane mixtures are used primarily as a feedstock for producing plastics for the petrochemical industry. The Utopia East pipeline system has a current capacity of 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) and is expandable to more than 75,000 bpd.
