Making The Natural Gas Connection

Tricor Ten Section Hub’s strategic location in Kern County, close to prime natural gas markets, brings high-deliverability natural gas storage to the Western US region in need of additional storage capacity in order to satisfy both existing and future energy demands. Situated 12 miles southwest of Bakersfield, Tricor Ten Section Hub is centrally positioned at the backbone of interstate and intrastate pipeline systems with 4.0 bcf/pd of interstate and intrastate pipeline capacity surrounding it.

Tricor Ten Section Hub plans to initially interconnect with the Kern River/Mojave pipeline at Wheeler Ridge, approximately 21 miles southwest of the field, to provide access to interstate markets. Subsequent interconnections to the PG&E and SoCal intrastate pipelines will expand access to intrastate and interstate customers.

Southern California Gas Company's Line 225 also connects directly to the Kern River-Mojave interstate pipeline at Wheeler Ridge. PG&E’s 34-inch 300A and 300B South to North lines have the capacity to deliver large volumes of gas into the San Francisco load center. The 9-mile, 34-inch intrastate Gosford Crossing transmission line, which is jointly owned by SoCal and PG&E, runs directly across the Ten Section Property, connecting SoCal's 225 line to PG&E's 300A & 300B.
