Playing a critical role in delivering affordable and reliable energy every day to homes, businesses and communities
Kern River Gas Transmission Company, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, operates an interstate natural gas pipeline extending from the oil and gas producing fields of southwestern Wyoming, through Utah and southern Nevada, to the San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield, California.
Since 1992, our 1,700-mile system has been a direct link between the abundant Rocky Mountain natural gas-producing basins and western markets, including Salt Lake City, Utah; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Southern California. Our customers include electric generation facilities, local distribution companies, and industrial and enhanced oil recovery operations. The pipeline currently has a design capacity of 2.17 billion cubic feet per day.
Our fully automated real-time pipeline is controlled from the gas control center in Salt Lake City. Our gas controllers can monitor what is flowing through the pipeline at the exact time it is flowing.
Kern River is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy and a part of BHE Pipeline Group.
