Since a Natural Gas Pipeline won freeze unless there is a large quantity of water involved, what should someone do if a Natural Gas Pipeline freezes?
Water freezing in pipelines is only a possibility for services on gas distribution systems. Pressures and flow are too high on gas distribution mains and gas transmission systems. Freezing would only be discovered when it obstructs gas flow, which would result in a no-gas call to the operator. The operator would need to remove or melt the ice to restore gas flow. You can find more information about pipelines, gas distribution systems, and operations at our Stakeholder Communication site.
