Williams Subsidiary Proposes $77 Million Utah Gas Infrastructure Expansion Project
By Mary Holcomb, Digital Editor
(P&GJ) — Northwest Pipeline LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Williams Companies Inc., has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seeking authorization to build and operate the Wild Trail Project, a natural gas infrastructure expansion centered around a new compressor station in Daggett County, Utah.
The project includes the construction of the Daggett Compressor Station, a greenfield facility that will feature a Solar Taurus 70 turbine rated at approximately 11,110 ISO horsepower (7,710 site-rated horsepower).
The facility will provide up to 57,955 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of incremental northbound firm transportation capacity from the White River Hub in Colorado to Kern River Gas Transmission at the Muddy Creek interconnect in Wyoming.

In addition to the new northbound service, the project also offers 25,000 Dth/d of existing southbound firm service from the Wild Horse Receipt Point to El Paso Natural Gas at Ignacio, Colorado.
Sequent Energy Management LLC, a marketing affiliate of Northwest Pipeline, has executed a 15-year binding precedent agreement for 100% of both the northbound and southbound capacities. The project is scheduled for an in-service date of November 1, 2027, with an estimated capital cost of $77.3 million.
The application notes that the project was developed in response to strong market demand for additional gas transportation, particularly to serve coal-to-gas power conversions, data centers, and industrial loads. The selected site, located entirely on federally managed lands, was designed to minimize environmental impact and avoid the need for eminent domain. Temporary workspace in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area will be restored post-construction.
Northwest has requested FERC approval by May 1, 2026, to remain on track for the construction timeline.
