The project plans to deliver about 60 billion cubic feet daily into the pipeline, routing gas from McLouth storage to Leavenworth Atchison and St. Joseph areas. It will free up capacity, serve Kansas City and other company towns, and push efficient use of excess and summer production. Underground storage offers the largest capacity at low cost, handles production swings, preserves residue gas, and reduces waste from unused gas.
