   A public meeting on a proposal to build a liquefied natural gas pipeline from Coos Bay to Malin will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Shilo Inn in Klamath Falls . 

   Representatives from companies developing the Jordan Cove Energy Project and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline will be on hand to answer questions about the project. 

   Jordan Cove is a proposed liquefied natural gas, or LNG, terminal near Coos Bay . The Pacific Connector would start at the terminal and run for 230 miles east to connect to another pipeline at Malin.

Companies pursuing project 

   Three energy companies — Canada-based Fort Chicago Energy Partners, San Francisco-based PG&E Corp., and Tulsa-based Williams — are pursuing the project to increase the supply of natural gas to markets in the Pacific Northwest and northern portions of California and Nevada. 

   If completed, the pipeline would deliver up to 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. 

   Developers are still securing easements and property rights along the pipeline route, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has yet to give final approval. Construction would begin in May 2010.
