Columbia Gulf reported discovering a leak on its 20-inch line upstream of the Eugene Island 250 platform in the Block 264 area. It said Eugene Island 331B, 314B, 314C, 314A and 271, where Columbia Gulf and Tennessee both have meters, and Eugene Island 294A, 338A, 315A and 316A, where Tennessee has the sole meter, will be required to shut in once repairs begin. No timetable for the repair startup had been set as of Friday afternoon, a spokesman said.

Transportation Notes
Columbia Gulf said Eugene Island platforms 331B, 314B, 314A, 271, 338A, 294A, 315A and 316A were required to shut in Thursday and nominations for those locations were taken to zero until further notice due to a leak discovered Wednesday on the 20-inch CNT Line upstream of the B side of Eugene Island 250 (see Daily GPI, April 14). Columbia Gulf has meters at the first four platforms, while Tennessee has meters at all eight. Declaring it a force majeure event, Tennessee said it would allow shippers’ nominations at the affected meters to remain in place for Thursday’s gas day, but they would be reduced to zero Friday. It estimated the production impact from the outage at 29,500 Dth/d. A Columbia Gulf spokesman said the leak is in the same general area as one that was repaired last month (see Daily GPI, March 31) but is different.
