Columbia Gulf said Wednesday it is continuing repairs on the 26-inch diameter Eugene Island System in the Gulf of Mexico following a leak that occurred Sunday (see Daily GPI, Oct. 31). Total production associated with the shut-in is about 10,000 Dth/d at three platforms, the pipeline said. It expects to complete the repair work on or before Saturday, pending line pressure reduction, liquids removal and weather conditions that permit divers to enter the water.

Florida Gas Transmission said it is receiving gas that does not meet its quality standards because of high concentrations of hexane and heavier components, “which could cause interference with the proper operation of FGT and customer facilities.” Effective Wednesday until further notice, it is limiting receipts at the EGP-Cow Island Plant and Exxon St. Regis points.

Due to electrical problems with the acid gas compressor at Kwoen Plant, which failed Monday, Westcoast made a 100% constraint of firm acid gas at Pine River Gas Plant effective Wednesday.
