Ruby Pipeline Clears Hurdle for Wyoming-to-Oregon System
FERC Friday issued a preliminary determination on non-environmental issues for the Ruby Pipeline project, a 675-mile, 42-inch diameter pipeline that would move 1.5 Bcf/d of Rockies natural gas from the Opal Hub in Wyoming to Malin, OR. A final certificate, which is the next step, will be awarded to Ruby if it receives a favorable environmental review from the agency.
Transportation Notes
Southern Natural Gas noted that as previously posted, it is in the process of abandoning its 16-inch diameter Mississippi Canyon 268 Line. As a result the West Delta 152 receipt point has been shut in and Southern is not accepting nominations there for about six days starting with Wednesday’s gas day. Since there is firm service at the point, this work constitutes a force majeure, the pipeline said.
