TETLP - M&R 73533 SEMPRA Gas Pipeline Facility in Ragley, Louisiana

TETLP - M&R 73533 SEMPRA is a gas pipeline facility located at 1055 Coonie Jackson Rd, Ragley, Louisiana, in Beauregard County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 486210 for pipeline transportation of natural gas. It is part of the extensive natural gas pipeline network in the United States, which is critical for energy distribution. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 192, which governs gas pipeline safety. This includes requirements for pipeline integrity management, corrosion control, and emergency response. The facility's location in Louisiana places it within a region with a dense network of natural gas pipelines, supporting the state's significant energy industry. As part of the TETLP system, this facility contributes to the transportation of natural gas from production areas to consumers. The pipeline infrastructure in Louisiana plays a vital role in supplying energy to industrial, commercial, and residential users across the region. The facility's operational status ensures continued support for the local and national energy grid.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Beauregard Parish, Louisiana, near the Calcasieu River basin. The region's flat terrain and proximity to waterways require careful pipeline integrity management to prevent leaks or ruptures that could impact local ecosystems. Cathodic protection systems are typically employed to mitigate corrosion, a key risk factor for aging pipelines. The commodity transported (natural gas) poses lower environmental risk compared to hazardous liquids, but methane leakage remains a concern for greenhouse gas emissions.
