Southern Natural Gas is implementing an OFO Type 6 Friday for long imbalances. Tiered penalties will apply to positive imbalances exceeding 2% or 200 dekatherms, whichever is less. Southern expected the OFO to stay in effect through at least Sunday. The pipeline also declared force majeure and expected to begin maintenance Thursday afternoon on its South Main Loop Line downstream of Wrens Compressor Station; the work is expected to last through Oct. 12 and is reducing capacity in Group 07 East of Wrens by about 175 MMcf/d. See the bulletin board for a list of affected points. A spokesman said field personnel had not isolated the Loop Line yet as of mid-afternoon Thursday, so the work might start later that day but might not get under way until Friday.
