With Florida temperatures in the 90s predicted, Florida Gas Transmission issued an Overage Alert Day for market-area customers Wednesday, setting a 20% tolerance for negative daily imbalances.

And after canceling Sunday an Action Alert aimed at averting high linepack, the growing cooling load in Florida prompted Gulfstream to issue an Operations Advisory Wednesday asking shippers not to let their deliveries out of its system exceed actual receipts into the system because linepack was now at the low end of its range of acceptable operating levels.

However, affiliates Columbia Gulf and Columbia Gas said Wednesday due to market conditions they will continue actions initiated over the holiday weekend of not allowing shippers to create long imbalances until further notice, and due-pipe imbalance makeup nominations are being restricted.

ANR reported completing engine repairs at Sandwich Compressor Station on its Michigan Leg South and said it has lifted all associated capacity restrictions.

Panhandle Eastern has rescheduled hydrostatic testing on the Ontario Lateral for next Tuesday. The pipeline said it will consider this work a force majeure event, and the Union Ojibway-Wayne County location will be unavailable that day.
