Opal Plant operator Williams Field Services (WFS) said it was continuing to curtail Cycle 3 (Intraday 1) nominations for Wednesday’s gas day after the Turbo Expander Plant 4 went down again (see Daily GPI, Nov. 3) after an attempted start at 5:45 p.m. MDT Tuesday. WFS said further investigation revealed the issue, and manufacturer Solar has located replacement parts that would be on site Wednesday. The new estimated time for restoring full Opal capacity was midnight Wednesday.
