About
The 69-mile Golden Pass Pipeline began service in 2010, transporting imported natural gas to connected interstate pipeline systems and northern U.S. markets. Since that time, the energy market has changed. To better serve the constantly evolving energy landscape, Golden Pass Pipeline applied for and has received authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to construct new facilities that allow for bi-directional flow of gas on the pipeline.
The expansion upgrades will include adding compressor stations at strategic locations, the addition of bidirectional interconnects and the system will convert from a primary northbound flow to a primary southbound flow with bidirectional capabilities via backhaul. These upgrades will connect Golden Pass Pipeline to a variety of natural gas supply sources, storage and multiple intrastate and interstate pipeline systems, contributing to the export of natural gas to power the world.
Pipeline Compression Project
Pipeline upgrades related to the export project will provide access to more pipeline interstate and intrastate networks.

AVERAGE TOTAL WORKFORCE
The pipeline project involves three key components: MP 1 in Sabine Pass, Texas; MP 33 in Orange, Texas and MP 69 in Starks, Louisiana.
Milepost 1 in Sabine Pass, Texas
- The Milepost 1 compressor station in Sabine Pass is on the terminal site and serves as the last stop before natural gas enters the liquefaction facility.
- Construction is in progress.
Milepost 33 in Orange, Texas
- The Milepost 33 compressor station project in Orange, Texas includes a new compressor station and three pipeline interconnects to enable delivery of natural gas to Golden Pass LNG.
- The project site is on about 60 acres of property that Golden Pass currently owns and includes a forested buffer around the facility. the facility footprint will be 13 acres.
- Site clearing activities will begin in 2022, with construction starting in 2023 and completion by 2024.
Milepost 69 in Starks, Louisiana
- The Milepost 69 compressor station project in Starks, Louisiana includes a new compressor station, metering station and pipeline interconnect, which will connect Golden Pass Pipeline to the Gulf Run Pipeline, and connect our terminal to more sources of natural gas supply.
- The project site is on about 56 acres of property that Golden Pass currently owns and includes a forested buffer around the facility. The facility footprint will be 25 acres.
- Site clearing activities will begin in 2022, with construction starting in 2023 and completion by 2024.

Locating Pipelines
If you look closely along highways, roads, public servitudes, and right-of-ways, you are likely to notice various above-ground markers. Yellow markers usually indicate a pipeline system that carries either gas or liquid materials. Pipeline markers indicate the approximate location of pipelines and can include the name of the pipeline operator, the substance in the pipeline, warnings signs, aerial patrol markers, casing vents, and 24-hour emergency contact information.
If you notice pipeline markers in your neighborhood, write down the name and phone number of the pipeline company listed on the marker in case of an emergency. To identify pipeline operators in your area, visit the National Pipeline Mapping System at www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov
Recognizing a Leak
Natural gas is an odorless, colorless, non-toxic substance, but can be highly flammable if subjected to an ignition source. Below are signs that a natural gas pipeline is leaking.
By Sight
- Dust, water or vegetation blowing around a pipeline
- Discolored or dead vegetation near a pipeline
- Bubbling in a wet area
- Flames, if the leak has ignited
By Sound
- Blowing, hissing or roaring sound caused by escaping gas
Know what to do if a leak occurs
Any pipeline leak can be potentially dangerous, so it’s very important to follow these steps:
- Leave the leak area on foot immediately.
- Do not touch, breathe or make contact with leaking liquids or gases.
- Do not light a match, start an engine, use a telephone or light switch, or do anything that may create a spark.
- Do not attempt to operate any valves on a pipeline – this could make the situation worse.
- From a safe location, call 911, your local emergency response number or the pipeline company.
- The Golden Pass Pipeline 24-hour emergency telephone number is (877) 477-5564.
- Warn others to stay away from the leak.
