Safety

El Paso Corporation, a major operator of natural gas storage in the United States, seeks to safely and successfully manage storage facilities across the U.S. to meet demand in major natural gas markets. The company is committed to maintaining its record of safety during construction and operation of CIG’s Totem Natural Gas Storage Project. The company maintains its outstanding safety record through rigorous design, construction, operation, and maintenance procedures.

The Totem project will meet or exceed all applicable local, state, and federal regulatory, safety and environmental requirements. It will include state-of-the-art safety features, such as remote emergency shutdown capabilities, over-pressure protection systems, and gas-leak and fire detection and alarm systems. This focus on safety will ensure that the Totem Natural Gas Storage Project contributes to CIG’s long-standing history of safe underground gas storage operations.
