Northwest gave shippers notice Friday afternoon of a potential OFOthat would take effect today “if scheduled quantities remain atroughly the same level at Kemmerer as they have for the past twodays.” The pipeline noted that customers scheduled a net 501,982 Dthto flow north through the Kemmerer (WY) Compressor Station forFriday’s gas day and a net 521,204 Dth through the Timely cycle forSaturday’s gas day. Station capacity is 474,000 Dth. The pipelinecontinued: “Cooler temperatures are forecasted for Northwest’s majormarket areas. Further, the price differences among the various supplybasins connected to Northwest’s system continue to favor gas purchasesat receipt points south of Kemmerer. Overscheduling at Kemmererrequires Northwest to withdraw from its Jackson Prairie [storage]inventory. System reliability dictates that withdrawals cannotcontinue indefinitely.” No OFO had been issued as of press time Mondayafternoon, but a Declared Stage II Entitlement (see Daily GPI, Oct. 30) remained in effect.
