Transwestern

Transwestern issued a high-linepack Alert Day notice Sunday but lifted it on Monday.

Southern California Gas said it regained a total of 340 MMcf/d of receipt capacity Wednesday at its Topock, AZ, border interconnects with El Paso and Transwestern following completion of anomaly repairs on Line 3000 that had required a reduction in line pressure. The work had begun Nov. 10.

Without explaining further, Transwestern said it was lifting Tuesday a force majeure at the P-3 (Pampa) Compressor Station (see Daily GPI, Oct. 7). An inquiry on whether the station’s normal capacity had been restored was not answered.

Transwestern said it would complete resolution of a force majeure event at Compressor Station 2 near Flagstaff, AZ (see Daily GPI, March 18) by Thursday evening and was accepting Timely cycle nominations for Friday’s gas day on its Thoreau/West system up to the normal capacity of 1,220,000 MMBtu/d.

Transwestern said a force majeure event at Compressor Station 2 near Flagstaff, AZ, caused the station to be taken out of service for repairs during the weekend. The outage is reducing Thoreau/West system capacity from to about 1,075,000 MMBtu/d through Tuesday, the pipeline said. It expects to restore Thoreau/West to its original capacity of 1,220,000 MMBtu/d Wednesday.

Transwestern is conducting turbine meter cleaning and inspections on its San Juan Lateral. The work will limit New Mexico measurement points PNM/Blanco and TransColorado to maximum flows of 100,000 MMBtu/d each Thursday and WFS Kutz to 54,000 MMBtu/d Friday. Flow at Colorado measurement points will be limited to 200,000 MMBtu/d each at Northwest Pipeline Monday and at WFS Ignacio Tuesday.
