Draft

El Paso Natural declared a Strained Operating Condition (SOC) for a Draft condition on its entire system Friday. The imbalance tolerance was set initially at 10%, but El Paso said it would reduce the tolerance level if conditions did not improve sufficiently. “A combination of receipt underperformance and takes in excess of scheduled quantities has resulted in a substantial loss of linepack on EPNG’s system with linepack at approximately 7,200 MMcf,” the pipeline said. “Washington Ranch [storage facility] is on withdrawal at maximum rate.”

Columbia Gas said Tuesday that until further notice there is zero nonfirm receipt capacity for gas entering lines BM-39 in Martin County, KY; BM-19 in Lawrence County, KY, and Wayne County, WV; and PM-117 in Martin County, KY, and any pipelines feeding into these lines. This is for the purpose of making capacity available for firm services, Columbia said. See the bulletin board for a list of affected meters.
