Open Grid Europe (OGE), the largest pipeline operator in Germany, will build an 18-mile (30-km) LNG pipeline from a planned terminal at the North Sea port of Wilhelmshaven before 2022 is over. The pipeline is expected to have initial capacity of 10 Bcm, potentially increasing to 28 Bcm with further expansion of the network over the next few years, the company said. OGE said the pipe will run from Wilhelmshaven to a long-distance NETRA pipeline, which will transport the gas further south and east, to be stored at a point near the Etzel underground storage facility.
