ABOUT THE PROJECT

The proposed Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline project (PCGP) will provide a link with existing pipeline systems that converge at Malin, Ore., and the west coast of Coos Bay, Ore. The PCGP project is being proposed to connect this natural gas supply hub, where energy is competitively traded on a daily basis, to a proposed LNG terminal. As it traverses southern Oregon, the PCGP route crosses or is located in the vicinity of existing natural gas infrastructure in several places. The PCGP has the potential to give regional natural gas customers in Pacific Northwest market areas better access to domestic Rocky Mountain and Canadian supply basins.

Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline route
With the announcement of Jordan Cove’s proposed plans to develop an export terminal, landowners may be wondering how this will affect the proposed Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline. In reality, not much will change along the proposed route. Gas will be transported 234 miles through interconnects from Malin, Ore., west and north to the Jordan Cove LNG terminal in Coos Bay, Ore., where the natural gas will be liquefied for transport via ocean-going tanker to markets on the Pacific Rim. The proposed pipeline route does not need to be changed to accommodate the new east to west flow condition. Read More...
