As it had said Tuesday might be necessary (see Daily GPI, Feb. 6), Florida Gas Transmission issued an Overage Alert Day notice for Wednesday’s gas day with 15% tolerance for negative daily imbalances. “Current weather forecasts indicate that cold weather will continue in the Southeast tonight and tomorrow morning, and FGT’s overall linepack is low,” said the bulletin board posting Wednesday morning.

In a move that some might say could only happen in Texas, the City of Fort Worth may adopt an ordinance permitting natural gas drilling within the city limits.

As it had said might be necessary due to processing cutbacks (see Daily GPI, Oct. 29), ANR declared an OFO Monday restricting receipts on its Southeast system to heating value of no more than 1,050 Btus per cubic foot. The OFO becomes effective Nov. 1 until further notice.
