Restaging

Transportation Notes

On Tuesday and Wednesday, Kern River will be restaging the Muddy Creek compressor and completing a semi-annual inspection of the turbine on unit #1. The work is expected to take 36 hours. Primary firm capacity behind the compressors will be restricted to 330 MMcf/d for gas days Nov. 13-14. If primary firm nominations exceed that amount, Kern River will allocate firm capacity pro rata based on each firm shipper’s contractual rights through the Muddy Creek Compressor Station. It will be necessary for shippers using receipt points upstream of Muddy Creek (Opal, Northwest Pipeline, Colorado Interstate, Overland Trails, and Muddy Creek Pool) to schedule some of their receipts from other sources. Kern River also will be making modifications to the Fillmore compressor unit and performing semi-annual inspections Tuesday and Wednesday. It is anticipated that only primary firm capacity will be available. The Goodsprings compressor is being inspected Tuesday and Kern will allow on only primary firm capacity to flow.
