STEGAL Gas Pipeline is an operating natural gas pipeline in Germany.

Location

The pipeline runs from Olbernhau, Sachsen, Germany, through Rückersdorf, Thüringen, to the Reckrod compressor station in Eiterfeld, Hessen. It connects with the Czech Transgas system (specifically, the Uzhgorod Waidhaus Pipeline) and with the OPAL Gas Pipeline at Olbernhau; with the JAGAL pipeline at Rückersdorf; and with the MIDAL Gas Pipeline at Reckrod.

Background

STEGAL (Sachsen-Thüringen-Erdgas-Anbindungsleitung, or "Sachsen–Thüringen Gas Connection Pipeline") is a natural gas pipeline in Sachsen and Thüringen, Germany. It connects the Czech Transgas or Uzhgorod Waidhaus Pipeline at Olbernhau and the JAGAL pipeline (exporting gas from the Yamal-Europe Gas Pipeline) at Rückersdorf, Thüringen, with the MIDAL Gas Pipeline at the Reckrod compressor station in Eiterfeld, Hessen. The pipeline is used to import gas from Russia. The length of STEGAL is 314 km (195 mi) and the diameter of pipe is 800 mm (31 in ). It is operated by GASCADE Gastransport GmbH, formerly Wingas GmbH & Co. KG, which is in turn jointly owned by BASF and Gazprom.

Construction of the STEGAL pipeline started in 1991 and the pipeline was completed in 1992. In 1999, the JAGAL pipeline was connected with STEGAL at Rückersdorf, Thüringen. In March 2006, the 97-km (60-mi) long STEGAL Loop, parallel to the main pipeline, was commissioned.

Identifiers

The SciGRID_gas combined IGG gas transmission network data set refers to the pipeline as INET_PL_6272, INET_PL_6273, INET_PL_6274, INET_PL_6275, and INET_PL_6271.
