Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP's plans to build the $2 billion Freedom pipeline to support drilling in California have been axed.
The company made the cancellation announcement on May 31, after it failed to gain the necessary support for the project. Mark Kissel, Kinder Morgan's president of west region gas pipelines, cited a "lack of interest" in the project.
Railroads are becoming the primary transportation tool of choice for operators in California, including Valero Energy and Tesoro Corp., who cite flexibility as a key component.
