Citing “the forecast potential for Tropical Storm Claudette to enter the Gulf of Mexico this weekend,” Texas Eastern said Wednesday the previously posted shutdown of its Main Pass System’s Line 40-B (see Daily GPI, July 9) has been postponed until July 16; it previously had been set to begin this Sunday. The duration and course of Claudette will dictate whether the schedule gets shifted again, the pipeline said.

Following up on an announcement of a Transwestern restriction on deliveries of gas received east of the Canadian River Compressor Station due to a force majeure situation on the South End System of Northern Natural Gas (see Daily GPI, July 8), Transwestern said Wednesday it has been advised that NNG will no longer be able to make displacement deliveries for Transwestern and that this is anticipated to be a permanent change in operations.
