Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company LLC, TGP 100 Line Knox Bayou Exposures AFE 217933 - Leland, Mississippi Gas Pipeline Facility

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company LLC, TGP 100 Line Knox Bayou Exposures AFE 217933 is an operational gas pipeline facility located in Leland, Washington County, Mississippi, United States. The facility is part of the Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) system, a major natural gas transmission network that spans multiple states. As a gas pipeline facility, it plays a critical role in transporting natural gas from producing regions to distribution networks and end users. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and complies with 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. The NAICS code 486210 indicates it is classified as a pipeline transportation of natural gas operation. The facility is part of a larger pipeline system that typically includes compressor stations, metering equipment, and cathodic protection systems to ensure safe and efficient gas transport. The TGP system is a key component of the U.S. natural gas infrastructure, supplying gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the Northeast, Midwest, and Gulf Coast regions. The Leland facility contributes to the reliability of gas supply in Mississippi and surrounding areas, supporting local energy needs and economic activity.

The facility is located in the Mississippi Delta region, an area characterized by agricultural land and proximity to the Mississippi River. Pipeline operations in this region must consider potential impacts on waterways and wetlands, as well as the risk of erosion and flooding. The transport of natural gas, while cleaner than other fossil fuels, still poses risks of leaks and methane emissions, which are regulated under PHMSA standards. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to prevent corrosion and maintain pipeline integrity.
