El Paso Natural Gas declared an Unauthorized Overpull Penalty situation Monday. The Washington Ranch storage facility is currently on maximum withdrawal. The penalty applies to all customers. “You are urged to immediately review your supply/demand balance, and the performance of your suppliers, to ensure sufficient gas is being delivered to El Paso to cover the gas being taken off the system,” the company said. Customers are encouraged to use available capacity at Waha and receipt points downstream of Keystone Station, where maintenance is being performed through Sept. 17. El Paso is placing limits on scheduled volumes at interconnects that are under performing.
