Gulfstream ended Thursday morning the Operations Advisory it had issued on Dec. 2 due to high linepack.

Based on recent low linepack resulting from actual receipts into the system exceeded actual deliveries out of it, Gulfstream issued an Action Alert Monday requiring that positive imbalances not exceed 10% (or 1,000 Dth, whichever is greater). The alert will remain in effect until further notice.

Southern California Gas issued a high-linepack OFO for Saturday with a 10% tolerance for positive daily imbalances.

Goodrich Petroleum Corp., which is drilling in Texas’ Panola and Rusk counties, said the Billy Harris No. 1H, a horizontal well in a portion of the Haynesville Shale, produced into sales at a 24-hour peak production rate of 12.2 MMcf/d on a 24/64-inch choke with 6,000 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. The well, which Goodrich owns and operates, was drilled and completed with a 5,000-foot lateral and 20 hydraulic fracturing stages. A fourth horizontal well also was completed in Goodrich’s Cotton Valley/Taylor Sand holdings. The GT Waldrop 5H, which the company also owns and operates, is in “early stages of flow back,” and to date has a 24-hour peak production rate of 4.1 MMcf/d. The producer in 2009 completed its second operated well in East Texas, the Lutheran Church 5HR in Panola County, which had an initial production rate of 9 MMcf/d on a 26/64-inch choke with 4,375 psi (see NGI, June 8, 2009).

Construction of the Southeast Supply Header project (SESH), a 270-mile pipeline to connect the Perryville Hub in northeast Louisiana with Gulfstream Natural Gas near Mobile County, AL, could be delayed by efforts to relocate gopher tortoises, a threatened species that lives in burrows across the deep South from Louisiana to South Carolina.

Citing the continuing interruption of Gulf of Mexico supplies caused by Hurricane Katrina and warm weather in Florida, Gulfstream said Thursday an OFO that it had initiated Tuesday will remain in effect until further notice. See the bulletin board for the OFO’s conditions.
