Estonia–Latvia Interconnection (Vireši–Tallinn pipeline) is a natural gas pipeline interconnection between Estonia and Latvia.[1] Its total length is 290.4 kilometres (180.4 mi), of which 202.4 kilometres (125.8 mi) is located in Estonia and 88 kilometres (55 mi) is located in Latvia. In Vireši, the pipeline is connected with Izborsk–Inčukalns pipeline, which provides for Estonia access to the Inčukalns gas storage. The pipeline has one compression station in Vireši and one metering station in Karksi.
The direction of gas flow is from Latvia to Estonia. There is a plan for upgrade to allow bidirectional gas flow.
