Background
Questar Pipeline Company is an interstate natural gas pipeline company that provides transportation and underground storage services in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. Questar Pipeline owns and operates slightly more than 2,500 miles of pipeline with total daily capacity of 4,155 Mdth. Questar Pipeline’s system is strategically located in the Rocky Mountains — one of the fastest-growing natural gas producing regions in the U.S. — near large reserves of natural gas in six major producing areas, including the Greater Green River, Uinta and Piceance basins.
Questar Pipeline transports gas from these areas to other major pipeline systems for delivery to expanding markets in the West and Midwest including the Questar Gas local distribution system serving natural gas utility customers in Utah, southwest Wyoming and southern Idaho.
Through wholly owned subsidiaries, Questar Pipeline also owns and operates the Overthrust Pipeline in southwestern Wyoming and the eastern segment of Southern Trails Pipeline, extending 488 miles from the Blanco Hub to just inside the California state line. Questar Pipeline owns 50% of the White River Hub in western Colorado. These facilities connect with six interstate pipeline systems and a major processing plant near Meeker, Colorado.
Questar Pipeline owns and operates the Clay Basin storage facility. Located on the Wyoming-Utah border, Clay Basin is the largest underground storage reservoir in the Rocky Mountains Region.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
