El Paso said its Line 1,200 outage between the Williams and Seligman stations continued yesterday, reducing the capacity of the North Mainline by 40 MMcf/d. The current outage at Dilkon B turbine is causing a reduction of an additional 35 MMcf/d, for a total 75 MMcf/d. A completion date for Dilkon B has not yet been determined. If you have operational or scheduling questions, call your scheduling representative at (719) 520-4706. The pipeline also was in the process of installing a new 10-foot section of pipe downstream of its Bondad station on Line 1218. Pigging found the section to be flawed and in need of replacement, an El Paso spokeswoman said. The line was taken out of service for emergency repairs Wednesday, reducing the capacity through Bondad Station by 190 MMcf/d. The reduction was effective through Thursday but the work is expected to be completed for Friday flows.
