El Paso lifted Tuesday an Unauthorized Overpull Penalty notice that had been issued Sunday.

NGPL said Tuesday an 11-mile section of its mainline remains shut in until further notice following investigation of Friday’s pipe failure in Caddo County, OK (see Daily GPI, Aug. 11). The damaged pipeline has been replaced, NGPL said, but the schedule for restoring service through the section is undetermined pending additional integrity testing. NGPL has been using its operational flexibility to minimize impact to shippers, and as of Tuesday no primary firm services were being affected. Previously posted transport restrictions related to the outage remain in effect; see the bulletin board for details.
