What is the Ruby Pipeline Project?
As proposed, the project is expected to include approximately 670 miles of 42-inch natural gas transmission pipeline beginning at the Opal Hub in Wyoming and terminating at a Malin, Oregon interconnect, near California’s northern border. The Ruby pipeline will have an initial capacity of between 1.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) and 1.5 Bcf/d, depending on the final level of customer commitments. As proposed, the pipeline rights of way will cross a portion of four states: Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and Oregon. Four compressor stations are currently proposed for the project: one near the Opal Hub in southwestern Wyoming; one south of Curlew Junction, Utah; one at the midpoint of the project, north of Elko, Nevada; and one in northwestern Nevada.
