Continuing for September and until further notice, absent mitigating actions acceptable to the pipeline, any gas received into NGPL’s Louisiana Line (Segments 23, 24 and 25) that contains liquefiable hydrocarbons that might condense in the gas stream and cause the line’s gas quality blend to exceed 1,050 Btus per cubic foot will not be confirmed. Due to a continuing unusually low level of upstream processing, NGPL said, it continues to receive very high deliveries of non-conforming gas. Ten receipt points currently exceeding the quality specification were posted on NGPL’s bulletin board.
