Texas Eastern reported an unplanned unit outage at its Five Points Compressor Station in Ohio and said it had sealed nominations flowing through Sarahsville Compressor Station as a result Thursday. “Increases in nominations for receipts sourced between Little Rock and Sarahsville for delivery downstream of Sarahsville will not be accepted” until further notice, the pipeline said.

Sabine Pipe Line rescinded Thursday afternoon a force majeure it had declared Tuesday in connection with mechanical problems on the unit at its Port Neches Compressor Station in southeast Texas. Intraday 2 cycle nominations were allowed to resume at 9 p.m. CDT Thursday for the HPL, KM Texas and Tejas interconnects in Jefferson Parish, TX, Sabine said.

TGT said it had completed scheduled maintenance at the Bay Junop facilities offshore Louisiana from its Morgan City District. It resumed accepting nominations Thursday from four receipt points.

Gulf South said it will begin about two days of maintenance next Wednesday on its Index 219 segment (the 10-inch diameter Elm Grove Line in Bossier Parish, LA). Two receipt points will be shut in during the work.

Maintenance on the 20-inch diameter Main Pass-Franklinton Line in southeast Louisiana from Gate 6 to the Toca Compressor Station has been completed, allowing nominations from the Bayou Gentilly and Delacroix receipt points to resume, Southern Natural Gas said.

Panhandle Eastern said an outage of about 10 days will begin Tuesday on the Centralia 200 Line to allow anomaly digs between gate valves 201 and 202. Based on recent nominations, the outage is expected to affect Primary Firm nominations through the Pleasant Hill Compressor Station.

TGT is holding an open season through May 29 for capacity originating on its North Louisiana Supply Lateral and extending to Zone 4 that will become available beginning Nov. 1 due to expiring contracts. The lateral is currently fully contracted west of the Haughton (LA) Compressor Station, and only 43 MMBtu/d is currently available between Haughton and the Sharon (LA) Compressor Station, TGT said. “Both of these segments on the North Louisiana Supply Lateral provide parties with access to plentiful gas supplies from North and East Texas and from the developing Haynesville Shale play in North Louisiana,” the pipeline said. See the bulletin board for open season details.
