MIDAL (Mitte-Deutschland-Anbindungsleitung) is a 702 kilometres (436 mi) long German natural gas pipeline, which connects the North Sea with southern Germany.[1] It runs from Bunde, where it is connected with Netherlands gas system, and Emdel receiving terminal, to Ludwigshafen. The pipeline has a capacity of 12.8 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. It was constructed in 1992–1993, and it is owned and operated by Wingas GmbH & Co. KG.[2][3]

The northern section of the pipeline which runs from Bunde and Rysum to Rehden is 175 kilometres (109 mi) long and has a diameter of 900 millimetres (35 in). In Rehden, the pipeline is connected with the Rehden gas storage. Also the Rehden–Hamburg gas pipeline branches-off from MIDAL.[1] In future, MIDAL will be connected with the NEL pipeline at Reheden.

The middle section with length of 175 kilometres (109 mi) connects Rehden with Reckrod. This section has a diameter of 1,000 millimetres (39 in). In Bad Salzuflen, the WEDAL pipeline towards Belgium branches-off from MIDAL.[1] In Reckrod, MIDAL is connected with the STEGAL pipeline.

The 210 kilometres (130 mi) long southern section with a diameter of 800 millimetres (31 in) runs from Reckrod to Ludwigshafen. In Ludwigshafen, the pipeline is connected with a 57 kilometres (35 mi) long MIDAL-ERM branch-off pipeline to Jockgrim. It has a diameter of 400 millimetres (16 in). MIDAL-ERM was commissioned in April 1964.
