The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has recommended Oregon Pipeline LLC to conduct an open season for the 193 km Oregon Pipeline.
The proposed pipeline would connect Oregon LNG’s proposed LNG import facility, to be located on the Skipanon Peninsula in Warrenton, Oregon to the regional hub in Molalla, Oregon.
The 36 inch diameter pipeline will be trenched with 3–5 foot of cover. The wall thickness of the externally-coated steel line will vary between 12.7 and 19 mm.
FERC has requested that Oregon Pipeline LLC provide its schedule either for conducting the open season, or sufficient reason why it does not need to in the near term, by 3 June 2010.
