Southern Natural said Friday that it is currently at maximum storage injection and based on current supply and projected demand, it will exceed its maximum storage injection capacity beginning with the start of the gas day on Saturday, July 19. Southern said it would review nominations Saturday and could call a Type 6 OFO if it does not see a decrease in supply. It requested that all shippers/poolers monitor the balance between actual receipts and deliveries (including no-notice injection entitlements, scheduled ISS injections, and scheduled parks) to ensure that an out-of-balance situation does not occur.

A customer-specific OFO was declared for Tuesday by Pacific Gas & Electric, which projected that system linepack would fall below its minimum target level.
