Phillips 66 and Kinder Morgan announced progress on the Western Gateway Pipeline project after securing sufficient long-term customer commitments during a successful open season.
The proposed pipeline system will transport refined petroleum products from Midwest and Gulf Coast refineries to markets in Arizona and California, with additional connectivity to Nevada. The project combines new pipeline construction from Texas to Arizona with the reversal and integration of existing pipeline assets to enable westward product flows.
The companies stated that strong market interest highlights the need for improved fuel supply flexibility and reliability in the U.S. West Coast region. The pipeline is targeted to begin operations by mid-2029, pending final agreements, regulatory approvals, and investment decisions.
The project is expected to enhance regional logistics efficiency by leveraging existing infrastructure while expanding capacity to meet long-term demand.
