Destin Pipeline said Friday it had completed initial assessment of its offshore facilities and there appeared to be no significant damage. However, due to power outages affecting downstream pipes, Destin said it is unable to accept nominations from offshore receipt points at this time.

Scheduled volumes for Friday through Meacham Compressor Station were above design capacity by 18,000 Dth/d, Northwest said. Therefore, beginning Saturday until further notice, Northwest will invoke realignment OFO provisions in its tariff to reduce nominations through the station to its design capacity of 440,000 Dth/d. Under the OFO, shippers must realign nominations from receipt points south of Meacham to receipt points north of Meacham. Alternatively, shippers may elect to voluntarily reduce their nominations through Meacham by the OFO volume or take other mutually agreeable action to alleviate the problem.

ANR lifted Friday a Hurricane Gustav-related force majeure in its Southeast Area. All locations in the Eunice-to-Patterson area have been successfully inspected and cleared for nominations effective with Friday’s gas day, ANR said, adding that it was increasing flowing capacity in the area from 300,000Dth/d to 433,000Dth/d. However, ANR continues to not accept any nominations upstream of Patterson (LA) Compressor Station until inspection of offshore facilities are complete and the Pelican and Calumet processing plants upstream of Patterson return to service.

CIG said Thursday afternoon it had experienced an unexpected outage at Kim Compressor Station on the Campo Lateral (CS1) constraint point. Declaring a force majeure, CIG said capacity at CS1 was to be reduced from 414 MMcf/d to 355 MMcf/d from Saturday through Monday. The pipeline said it could provide 40 MMcf/d of service to delivery points north of Trinidad for shippers interested in finding a way to move supply from the Campo Lateral.

Trunkline cleared all but four delivery points in its East Louisiana zone for flow and nominations Friday. Trunkline anticipated completing inspection of its offshore facilities by Sunday evening and said it will provide an update Monday. Kaplan Compressor Station is operational and the backflow capacity is 250,000 Dth/d, the pipeline said. Trunkline also reported being notified that the Calumet Processing Plant operated by Enterprise Products Operating LLC and the Patterson II Plant operated by CDM Max LLC are without commercial power and unable to operate, so Trunkline is only able to dehydrate gas. “To date, we have not had any gas quality issues with delivery operators, but this is subject to change based on our ability to manage the gas quality,” the pipeline said.

TGT reported being informed Thursday afternoon that Transco would resume accepting delivery nominations from TGT at their Thibodaux interconnect in South Louisiana (see Daily GPI, Sept. 5). TGT said it will continue not allowing any nominations at ANR Eunice due to the loss of processable supply in South Louisiana.

Effective with the Intraday 1 cycle for Friday’s gas day, Southern Natural Gas began accepting interruptible nominations at the Tennessee-Toca SNG and Tennessee-Rose Hill interconnects. The amount of interruptible nominations accepted will vary depending on the amount of firm service scheduled at the points, Southern said.
