El Paso reported that in conjunction with the White Rock Station controls replacement project, the White Rock 1 turbine compressor was disassembled “and it has been determined that repairs can not be completed within the original time frame.” Following completion of the station’s controls replacement, due April 27, White Rock 1 will remain down through May 3, reducing El Paso’s San Juan Basin capacity by 105 MMcf/d.

In an effort to minimize the duration and impact of a pipe replacement project scheduled to start Wednesday on its Michigan Leg South near the St. John Compressor Station, ANR said it has modified its construction plan. See the bulletin board for a revised list of dates and west-to-east volume constraints through St. John. Based on current activity, ANR anticipates that IT and Firm Secondary nominations may be curtailed.

Transco plans an April 24-28 smart pig run on its Mainline B from the Brazos River to Station 35 near Houston. Depending on the level of FT requests, Transco said it may need to limit the availability of secondary firm and IT that is received upstream for delivery downstream of Station 40 in East Texas. Additionally, producers and interconnecting pipelines upstream of Station 35 may periodically experience higher than normal pipeline pressures.
