Deliverability

Mississippi Hub LLC has filed an application at FERC seeking authorization to build a 12 Bcf high deliverability salt cavern storage facility in South-Central Mississippi.

Questar has started inventory and deliverability testing at its Clay Basin Storage facility. From April 1 through April 5 the work restricted customers to withdrawals only. A withdrawal test of up to 370,000 dekatherms was set for Tuesday. From Wednesday until April 22, the facility will be shut in for inventory verification, preventing Questar from using Clay Basin to balance receipt and delivery imbalances. Thus it stressed to customers the importance of preventing physical imbalances during that period.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission last week voted out an order to downsize and phase the construction of an already-certificated expansion of Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp.’s mainline pipeline system in the Southeast region.

Questar Corp. said Wednesday that its low-risk development gas drilling programs have deliverability by 40% this year at its core Rocky Mountain plays in western Wyoming and eastern Utah. Despite intentionally curtailing Rockies production because of low prices and unprecedented basis differentials, the company is on track to grow production by 12% this year, said Chuck Stanley, executive vice president of Questar’s Market Resources (QMR) subsidiary.
