Project Facilities

CIG’s proposed Totem Natural Gas Storage Project would utilize a depleted natural gas production field in eastern Adams County, Colorado. The field’s current design includes eight injection/withdrawal wells, 11 observation wells, and one salt water disposal well located on approximately 8,360 acres.

The project will also involve the construction of a compressor station that will use 9,400-horsepower compressor units to inject and withdraw the natural gas. A natural gas processing plant will also be constructed at the compressor station site to remove liquids and other impurities from the gas stream. The injection/withdrawal wells will be interconnected to the compressor station and processing plant with about three miles of smaller diameter pipe.

The 164-mile pipeline system that will connect the Totem storage facility to CIG’s interstate natural gas transmission network, allowing the gas to serve markets in Denver and surrounding areas, is being separately constructed as the High Plains Expansion Project.
