MIGC System
Overview
Owned and operated by Western Gas Partners, LP, the MIGC system is a 256-mile interstate pipeline regulated by FERC and operating within the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. The MIGC system traverses the Powder River Basin from north to south, extending to Glenrock, Wyoming. As a result, the MIGC system is well positioned to provide transportation for the extensive natural gas volumes received from various coal-bed methane gathering systems and conventional gas processing plants throughout the Powder River Basin. MIGC offers both forward-haul and backhaul transportation services and is certificated for 175 MMcf/d of firm transportation capacity. Anadarko is the largest firm shipper on the MIGC system, with approximately 86% of throughput for the year ended December 31, 2011, with the remaining throughput from 11 third-party shippers.
