Transportation Notes

After ending a previous Imbalance Warning in Zones 5 and 6 Tuesday, Tennessee implemented a new one Thursday in those zones. Conditions are the same as in the previous Imbalance Warning (see Daily GPI, Jan. 13). Based on currently available information, Tennessee now estimates that it will be able to place the Line 4 section between Main Line Valves (MLV) 208 and 209 back into service in a manner that will allow receiving volumes again from Rockies Express (REX) no earlier than mid-February. Line 4 was shut in and deliveries from REX at their Glouster, PA, interconnect were halted following a November rupture near MLV 205-4 in Morgan County, OH.
