Effective with Saturday’s gas day, Northwest will be cutting alternate nominations north through its Green River Compressor Station in the Timely Cycle and all subsequent cycles as needed until further notice. The pipeline said Thursday it will begin moving balancing gas north from its Clay Basin storage account to the Jackson Prairie Storage Facility until adequate levels have been established in its Jackson Prairie account. “[E]xtremely low levels in Northwest’s Jackson Prairie account require this action,” according to a bulletin board posting.
