Pipeline Description
220-mile natural gas transportation pipeline serves the growing energy demand in Baja California, Mexico and portions of Riverside, Imperial and San Diego Counties in California.

Began service on September 1, 2002, with an initial capacity of 200 million cubic feet per day.

Completion of the pipeline's 21,000-horsepower compressor station in December of 2002 brought the pipeline's east-to-west capacity to 500 million cubic feet a day in December 2002.
Completion of Expansion facilities in April 2008 allowed for reverse flow on the pipeline and for the importation of LNG-sourced gas into the U.S. at Ogilvy, California, on the North Baja system.

36/30-inch pipeline.
