Central Valley Gas Storage has begun the construction phase of its planned natural gas storage facilities in California, US.

Under the construction phase, the firm will install compressor units and construct about 15 miles of a 24in pipeline, which will connect the storage field to PG&E’s transmission system.

On completion, the facility will have a storage capacity of 11bcf and an injection and withdrawal capacity of 300 million standard cubic feet per day.

The Central Valley natural gas storage project is a high deliverability depleted reservoir that will provide multi-turn services tailored to customer requirements.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
