Notes

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

Due to receipts exceeding deliveries, Southern Natural is implementing an OFO Type 6 for the contiguous portions of its system Wednesday. Tiered penalties of $1, $5 or $15 per dekatherm will be applied only to shippers with net positive daily imbalances exceeding 2% or 200 dekatherms, whichever is less. Citing its everyday procedure, Southern said it will be force balancing during the OFO.

Pacific Gas & Electric extended Thursday’s customer-specific Stage 3 high-inventory OFO through Friday, but as of early Friday afternoon had not posted any OFOs for Saturday. Redwood Path capacity was raised from 1,757 MMcf/d to 2,020 MMcf/d Friday after the Tionesta Compressor Station was returned to service, PG&E said. It expected to finish semiannual maintenance and repairs at the Gerber Compressor Station by Saturday (Nov. 20), allowing restoration of full capacity on the Redwood Path for that gas day.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in an order approved last Thursday noted steady improvement and increased confidence in published price indices, listing 10 publishers that meet its criteria for reliability and whose indices may be reliably used as part of Commission-approved tariffs. FERC also closed the dockets on 13 tariffs containing formulas based on published indices, leaving those in place, but stating that in any new tariffs the specific index points used would have to meet its liquidity requirements.
