During the installation of a pig receiver at the end of the 12-inch diameter Chattanooga Branch Line in Hamilton County, TN, Southern Natural Gas identified the need to remove a malfunctioning pipeline valve. Southern said it plans to begin the valve removal process, which is expected to take up to 24 hours, on Friday morning. Declaring it a force majeure event, Southern said it was not accepting any nominations at the Chattanooga Meter Station for Friday’s gas day, but did anticipate accepting nominations there on the Timely and Evening cycles for Saturday.

Cheyenne Plains said one unit will be out of service May 27-30 at the Cheyenne Plains Compressor Station (CPW), which will reduced capacity through the station from 782 MMcf/d to 648 MMcf/d. “At the time of this posting, firm capacity at CPW is fully subscribed at the 782.0 MMcf/d level,” the pipeline said.
