Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan extend second open season for remaining Western Gateway capacity

Phillips 66 Co. and Kinder Morgan Inc. have extended the second open season for the Western Gateway Pipeline, a newly proposed refined products pipeline system.

The second open season provided additional receipt points and deliveries into the Los Angeles market via Kinder Morgan’s SFPP Watson to Colton, Calif. line.

The initial open season concluded in December 2025. The second open season began Jan. 16, 2026, and was scheduled to close Mar. 31, 2026. The extended open season will now close on Apr. 15.

Western Gateway pipeline will consist of a new-build pipeline from Borger, Tex. to Phoenix, Ariz., combined with Kinder Morgan’s existing SFPP LP pipeline from Colton, Calif. to Phoenix, Ariz., which will be reversed to enable east-to-west product flows into California. It will be fed from supplies connected to Borger as well as supplies already connected to SFPP’s system in El Paso, Tex.

The Western Gateway Pipeline is targeting completion by 2029.
