Citing current inventory levels and scheduled storage shut-in testing, Dominion said an OFO will take effect Wednesday. It said it has taken certain actions that will affect Appalachian pool operators bringing gas into the Dominion system. In order to preserve the pipeline’s ability to receive gas for injection from firm customers, the OFO requires all shippers to ensure that all confirmed scheduled nominations for receipts will equal deliveries. See the bulletin board for other conditions of the OFO.

Shell Exploration & Production Co. reported it has resumed partial production flows from its Mars Tension Leg Platform (TLP), the largest producing platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The platform was shut-in due to damage from Hurricane Katrina last August.

Look for some some natural gas to be shut in for want of a place to go before the end of this storage injection season, but longer term all the signs for gas are bullish, according to Devon Energy President John Richels.
