Transportation Notes
Tennessee has scheduled about 12 hours of pigging activity March 8 on part of its Blue Water System offshore Louisiana. Specifically, Line #523M-100 will be pigged from Vermilion 245 to Ship Shoal 198. Only a Shell Oil meter (#012435) will be shut in during the work, but other meters in the area likely will experience higher than normal pressures, Tennessee said.
Transportation Notes
The liquids level at the Tivoli Plant onshore Texas from a Matagorda Offshore Pipeline System pigging operation had receded to the point that all scheduled nominations were being accepted for Tuesday’s Intraday 2 cycle, MOPS operator Northern Natural Gas said. The pipeline was forced to shut down Sunday due to excess liquids being received at Tivoli (see Daily GPI, Dec. 23). According to an NNG spokesman, “We were able to get rid of the liquids faster than expected, and there are no remaining constraints on MOPS.” Florida Gas Transmission resumed taking deliveries from MOPS at their interconnect in Matagorda County, TX effective with the Intraday 2 cycle for Tuesday’s gas day and for Wednesday’s evening cycle. Another MOPS pigging is scheduled for Dec. 26-31.
Transportation Notes
Due to an excessive amount of liquids received at the Tivoli Plant onshore Texas Sunday morning, the Matagorda Offshore Pipeline System was shut in that day and all receipts and deliveries were scheduled to zero. Return to service is expected by Tuesday, MOPS operator Northern Natural Gas said; it had expected to finish a scheduled pigging project Sunday (see Daily GPI, Dec. 18). Florida Gas Transmission took its scheduled deliveries from MOPS at their interconnect in Matagorda County, TX to zero for Sunday’s gas day and until further notice.
Transportation Notes
The completion date for a complete pigging of Matagorda Offshore Pipeline System has been extended through Tuesday; the project was originally scheduled to finish Sunday (see Daily GPI, Nov. 13).
West Coast LNG Deliveries Could Come from Shell’s Sakhalin II Project
The massive Shell-led Sakhalin II oil and gas development project offshore Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East is likely to be delivering liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the U.S. West Coast before the decade is over, according to Steve McVeigh, CEO of the Sakhalin Energy Investment Co.
