Repairs

Pacific Gas & Electric did not extend a customer-specific low-inventory OFO beyond Thursday.

Transco said unfavorable weather had delayed the progress of repairs to a section of pipe in Eugene Island Block 135 on its Southeast Louisiana Lateral that was damaged during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Transco now anticipates completion of the work on Feb. 15; it had previously expected to finish Jan. 31 (see Daily GPI, Jan. 16).

Wyoming Interstate Co. reported completion of repairs late Thursday afternoon to a segment west of Cheyenne Station where a rupture had occurred on the previous Saturday (see Daily GPI, Nov. 14) and said it was fully available for service again.

Columbia Gulf reported Thursday it had completed repairs on the 26-inch diameter Eugene Island System and allowed three platforms to resume flows effective with the Intraday 2 nominations cycle. Columbia Gulf also reduced its estimate of the amount of production shut in due to a leak on Line 100 of the West Leg of the Bluewater System to 12,000 Dth/d (see Daily GPI, Nov. 1). It said degassing operations would commence later Thursday and continue until the line pressure is reduced to a level that permits divers to enter the water safely. Depending on weather conditions, divers may be permitted in the water as early as Monday, and depending on the extent of the leak, operations could return to normal as soon as Wednesday, Columbia Gulf said.

Columbia Gulf said Wednesday it is continuing repairs on the 26-inch diameter Eugene Island System in the Gulf of Mexico following a leak that occurred Sunday (see Daily GPI, Oct. 31). Total production associated with the shut-in is about 10,000 Dth/d at three platforms, the pipeline said. It expects to complete the repair work on or before Saturday, pending line pressure reduction, liquids removal and weather conditions that permit divers to enter the water.

Southern Natural Gas said Tuesday it had completed repairs for the unscheduled outage experienced over the weekend on its north mainline system in Alabama near the Calhoun Power delivery point (see Daily GPI, April 11). Nominations to Calhoun Power are being accepted again.

Florida Gas Transmission did not extend an Overage Alert Day beyond Tuesday.

Southern Natural Gas said Thursday it had completed repairs of a leak on its 14-inch diameter Chattanooga Branch line (see Daily GPI, Feb. 1) and the line is back in service.
