NGS Energy opens Leaf River natural gas storage facility in Mississippi

LAUREL, Miss. - NGS Energy has started operations at its Leaf River Energy Center, a natural gas storage facility northwest of Laurel in Jasper and Smith counties in Mississippi.

The Westport, Conn., company says it is accepting natural gas in its first cavern, which holds eight billion cubic feet. NGS says a second cavern will open next year. It holds permits for caverns in two salt domes with 32 billion cubic feet of capacity.

The 43-mile pipeline header system associated with the facility will run through Smith, Jasper and Clarke counties in Mississippi and connect to Southern Natural, Gulf South, Transco, Tennessee, Destin and the proposed Kinder Morgan Express pipelines.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the storage of natural gas in the underground salt caverns in 2008.

  1. The most important to look for in a storage facility service is the security it can provide and outstanding customer service.
