Construction activities include installing compressor units and constructing approximately 15 miles of 24-inch pipeline connecting the storage field to PG&E’s transmission system.
The facility, which is expected to be completed by year-end, will have a storage capacity of 11 billion cubic feet and an injection and withdrawal capacity of 300 million standard cubic feet per day.
The company said that the gas storage project is a high deliverability depleted reservoir that will provide multi-turn services tailored to customers’ requirements.
Central Valley president Steve Cittadine said this project provides benefits to the local economy as more than 300 jobs will be brought to the area during construction.
