Sea Robin Pipeline noted that around 10:30 a.m. CDT Wednesday the Sea Robin Processing Plant operated by Amerada Hess was back online and processing again. Shippers were asked to adjust gas flows and nominations as needed.

A maintenance shutdown of the Amerada Hess-operated Sea Robin Processing Plant, expected to last seven to 10 days, has been moved up three days and will begin Saturday. It previously had been scheduled to begin Sept. 17 (see Daily GPI, Aug. 29). The plant will continue dehydration operations during the outage, but Sea Robin Pipeline still anticipates that the heating value content of unprocessed gas deliveries will exceed the maximum limits set by downstream pipes Columbia Gulf and Sabine. Sea Robin said if it is notified by any other downstream pipeline that Sea Robin gas can no longer be accepted, shippers will be given as much notice as possible of the need to move their gas to other delivery points.

The Amerada Hess-operated Sea Robin Processing Plant will shut down Sept. 17 for maintenance expected to last seven to 10 days. The plant will continue dehydration operations during the outage. Sea Robin Pipeline estimates that the cutback in processing will cause its deliveries to downstream pipes Columbia Gulf and Sabine to exceed their maximum heating value requirements of 1,050 and 1,065 Btus per cubic foot respectively. Sea Robin Pipeline said that if it is notified by any other downstream pipeline operator that Sea Robin gas can no longer be accepted, it will provide as much notice as possible to shippers of the need to move their gas to other delivery points.
