Deliver

Southern California Gas declared a high-linepack OFO for Thursday and said it will assess Buy-Back charges to customers who deliver more than 110% of their actual gas usage that day. SoCalGas reminded customers that Winter Balancing Rules are in effect and they must comply with the appropriate minimum delivery requirements. It also noted that when its injection capacity falls below 850 MMcf/d, confirmations of firm storage injection nominations will be reduced as outlined in the Storage Injection Capacity Reductions notice that it posted July 1.

Transwestern Pipeline Co. said Thursday it has requested FERC authorization to begin the pre-filing process on a proposed expansion project designed to deliver gas to the Phoenix, AZ, area, which currently is served only by competitor El Paso Natural Gas. Transwestern said it plans to make a certificate filing for the 500 MMcf/d expansion project next summer.

Questar said Friday it was unable to deliver to TransColorado at their Greasewood interconnect due to mechanical problems associated with the processing facility at this location. The problems were expected to be corrected by Monday, Questar said, but it was not accepting Greasewood nominations for the gas days of Saturday and Sunday. “Questar is doing everything possible to have this delivery available for the Southern System line work” that begins Monday (see Daily GPI, Aug. 10), the pipeline said.

Anadarko Petroleum Corp. has signed agreements for nominated capacity on a planned expansion of the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline system to deliver volumes into Canadian and U.S. markets from the producer’s planned Bear Head liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal, which is scheduled to start up in 2008.

Southern California Gas declared an OFO for Saturday, saying it will assess Buy-Back charges to customers who deliver into its system more than 110% of their actual gas usage.

West Texas Gas experienced a mechanical failure at its Davis Plant, Questar said Friday. The unavailability of the processing plant for most of Friday’s gas day left Questar unable to deliver to TransColorado at the Greasewood delivery point, so Questar cut Greasewood nominations to elapsed pro rata levels in Cycle 3 Friday. Questar said Davis repairs were expected to be completed and nominations back to normal by Saturday’s gas day. The incident occurred on the heels of Questar announcing a March 7-11 maintenance outage at Davis Plant that would also have the effect of suspending deliveries to TransColorado (see Daily GPI, Feb. 25).

FERC last Wednesday granted blanket authorization for WPS-ESI Gas Storage, a Hinshaw facility, to deliver natural gas from its storage operation in Michigan in interstate commerce to help satisfy the appetite of gas-fired power generators in the region.
