Tuscarora Gas Pipeline is an operating natural gas pipeline.[1]
Location
The pipeline runs from Malin, Oregon, to Wadsworth, Nevada.[2]
Project details
- Operator: Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company
- Parent company: TC PipeLines[3]
- Capacity: 230 million cubic feet per day[3]
- Length: 305 miles / 491 kilometers[2][4]
- Diameter: 20 inches[5][4]
- Status: Operating[3]

Background
The Tuscarora Gas Pipeline is operated by Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company, which is owned by TC PipeLines.[6] It is an interstate natural gas pipeline receiving natural gas from its interconnection with Gas Transmission Northwest pipeline system.[3]
Expansion projects
Tuscarora XPress Project
- Operator: Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company
- Parent company: TC PipeLines
- Capacity: 15 million cubic feet per day[7][8]
- Length: 0.0 kilometers (capacity expansion only)
- Status: operating[9]
- Start year: 2021[9]
- Cost: $13 million[9]
The expansion project is intended to increase the pipelines compression capability, to deliver natural gas from Malin, Oregon, USA to Wadsworth, Nevada.The project involved replacement a 600 hp compressor unit with 1380 hp.[8] In May 2021, FERC issued a certificate to Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company to build and operate the Tuscarora XPress Project expansion.[10] The project was expected to be in service by November 2021; as of October 2021, the operator had requested permission to begin operating.
The construction of the project was completed in November 2021 and began service.[9]
