Kern River reported late Monday afternoon being informed by Duke Energy Field Services that Jonah Field, behind the Opal Plant, is experiencing production problems due to pigging.

Noting a previous posting about reduced capacity on the 26-inch Main Pass Line due to maintenance at the Olga Compressor Station that is now scheduled to last through the end of June (see Daily GPI, May 29), Sonat said it experienced an unscheduled outage on one of the Olga units over the weekend. Because of this, Main Pass Line capacity must be reduced further, the pipeline said. It does not expect any impact on firm receipts, but cuts in interruptible nominations (A-1 and/or IT) are likely.

Due to weather conditions, NGPL has delayed scheduled maintenance at Lansing Storage Facility in Harrison County, TX (Compressor Station 388) by one day to Thursday and Friday of this week. Although Lansing service will be unavailable during that period, NGPL anticipates limited impact to shippers but said there is a risk that storage services systemwide above IQ may be affected.
