Transportation Notes

Algonquin said colder than expected weather and high demand in its service territory had significantly degraded linepack, and it asked Tuesday that “all point operators voluntarily use means at their disposal to reduce takes to the greatest extent possible.” These restrictions were in effect Tuesday: no forward-haul AO/IT nominations accepted; no due-shipper gas available anywhere on the system; and a Critical Notice posted Feb. 10 requiring all customers to stay within a daily 2% due-pipeline imbalance still stood. However, that afternoon Algonquin cited improving weather and operating conditions in saying it would lift the Critical Notice Wednesday.
