ANR said it completed its Hurricane Rita related damage assessment of its West Cameron 167-to-Grand Chenier pipeline segment and related facilities. Due to damages ANR is declaring a force majeure event in this area of its system. ANR continues not to accept any nominations through Grand Chenier. It is pursuing temporary solutions to provide partial service of these facilities in the very near future. ANR said it experienced close to a 66% loss in deliverability on its Gulf system but because it sources significant supplies from the Mid-Continent and Canadian basins it has been able to maintain market deliveries. As a result of damage to its system, ANR has to replace subsea pipe and connections in the South Marsh Island 108 area and it has to repair the measurement and a separation and dehydration plant in the Grand Chenier area. It expects to restore 100% of its throughput by December.
