Building America's Energy Security

The Western Gateway Pipeline will be a partnership between Phillips 66 and Kinder Morgan creating a new path for refined products stretching from St. Louis, Missouri to California. The Western Gateway Pipeline will consist of a new-build pipeline from Borger, Texas to Phoenix, Arizona, combined with Kinder Morgan’s existing SFPP, L.P. (SFPP) pipeline from Colton, California to Phoenix, Arizona, which will be reversed to enable east to west product flows into California. The Gold Pipeline, operated by Phillips 66, which currently flows from Borger to St. Louis, will also be reversed to enable refined products from Illinois refineries to flow toward Borger and supply the Western Gateway Pipeline. The Western Gateway Pipeline is targeting completion by 2029.  

Using Kinder Morgan's existing terminals and co-locating with their existing pipelines minimizes Western Gateway’s footprint and brings produced fuel from the Midcontinent region directly into Phoenix, reaching markets in Arizona and California, with further optionality into Las Vegas, Nevada with connectivity to Kinder Morgan’s Calnev Pipeline. 

The partnership between Phillips 66 and Kinder Morgan to build the Western Gateway Pipeline is an integrated industry solution to help fuel the West. This collaboration secures a reliable and resilient energy future by promoting American-Produced fuel.

Phillips 66 will build the entirety of the new pipeline and operate the reversed Gold Line. Kinder Morgan will operate the pipeline from Borger, Texas to Colton, California.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) states that California is on track to lose ~17–20% of its refining capacity by mid-2026. Arizona and Nevada depend heavily on California barrels, and the existing pipelines into Arizona run near capacity, leaving little backup space during outages. The Western Gateway Pipeline will be capable of supplying 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Midcontinent refined products directly into Arizona, replacing the approximately 125,000 barrels per day that Phoenix currently receives via Kinder Morgan’s SFPP pipeline from California. This shift allows those volumes to remain in California, increasing supply availability for in-state markets. 

U.S. Department of Transportation data has long confirmed that pipelines are by far the safest method of transportation for fuel over long distances. Reducing the number of trucks on the road removes unnecessary risk and unnecessary wear. The Western Gateway Pipeline will be built to exemplify safety and will be monitored 24/7/365 by Western Gateway Pipeline’s state-of-the-art monitoring technology, including routine aerial and ground inspections, as well as in-line inspections. Phillips 66 has received many safety awards and accolades throughout the years and operates more than 53,180 miles of pipeline throughout the U.S. We make safety our highest priority. Kinder Morgan is a premier operator of both liquids and natural gas pipelines, with a network spanning more than 79,000 miles across the United States. The company consistently exceeds most industry standards in safety and pipeline integrity, earning state and national recognition for environmental stewardship, emergency preparedness, and operational transparency.  

We are committed to respectful interactions with the land and the people that inhabit it. The Western Gateway Pipeline is designed to use existing corridors and co-location to minimize our footprint and avoid sensitive environmental areas and tribal lands. We are committed to meaningful and respectful engagement with all stakeholders. We approach our engagement with mutual respect by upholding human rights, living our values through our actions and being a good neighbor. As the Western Gateway Pipeline progresses, we commit to informing our stakeholders on project updates, how to get involved, and who to contact when they have questions. 

We are deeply committed to decarbonization and environmental protection. Our operations actively support this mission through the use of renewable energy, water recycling, and emerging energy technologies. More than just meeting regulatory and permitting provisions, our commitment to the environment means we constantly strive to reduce our environmental footprint by increasing efficiency, minimizing waste, and conserving natural resources. 

Guided by our core values of start with safety, go with honor, and deliver with commitment, we work to meet the world’s energy needs today and tomorrow. Our mission of providing energy and improving lives extends to every aspect of our business. We have assets in Downstream, Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, Marketing and Specialties, and Renewable Fuels. Our products make modern life possible. In addition to transportation fuels and the raw materials for cooling and lubricating engines, we produce specialty products designed to support the manufacturing of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, electronics, vehicles, batteries, agricultural products, and much more.   

At Kinder Morgan, we believe access to reliable, affordable energy is essential to improving lives and powering progress. Guided by our core values of integrity, accountability, safety, and excellence, we deliver critical energy infrastructure that supports communities, businesses, and economies across North America. With approximately 79,000 miles of pipelines, 139 terminals, and more than 700 billion cubic feet of working natural gas storage capacity, our expansive network transports and stores the energy products that fuel daily life. We also operate renewable natural gas facilities with a generation capacity of approximately 6.9 billion cubic feet per year, helping to advance lower-carbon energy solutions. Our mission is to provide energy transportation and storage services in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner for the benefit of people, communities, and businesses.
