Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG) began construction of the Totem Natural Gas Storage Project in the second quarter of 2008 with an in-service date of June 2009. The Totem Natural Gas Storage Project has a total gas inventory of about 10.7 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas, comprised of 7.0 Bcf of working gas and approximately 3.7 Bcf of base gas.

The storage facility connects with CIG's existing underground pipeline network via the 164-mile pipeline system called High Plains Expansion Project.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, United States Department of Transportation, and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission have federal and state oversight of the project's operations.
