East Cheyenne Gas Storage

  Merchant Energy Holdings' East Cheyenne Gas Storage facility will be an interstate natural gas storage facility on mineral leases held by Merchant Energy Holdings, LLC in two nearly-depleted reservoirs in Logan County, approximately 23 miles north of Sterling, Colorado. The East Cheyenne Gas Storage project is strategically located on the Rockies Express and Trailblazer interstate transmission lines, about 83 miles east of the Cheyenne hub.

The project will provide a much needed source for seasonal, daily and intra-day load management on interstate pipelines serving markets throughout the West, Midwest, and eventually, the Atlantic coast regions. The East Cheyenne Gas Storage field will be designed and built to offer services to customers that require storage to meet gas demand peaks that exceed production and long-haul pipeline throughput.

East Cheyenne will also serve an important role in helping natural gas market participants manage pipeline imbalances and daily and seasonal price volatility.
