NGPL said the start of integrity testing on its mainline Segment 2 where a pipe failure occurred earlier this month (see Daily GPI, Aug. 13) has been delayed by one day to Friday instead of Thursday as previously planned. The testing is still expected to last approximately six weeks. As it progresses, various receipt points will become unavailable for receipt of gas into the pipeline. Once a point is impacted, it may remain unavailable until the entire Segment 2 has been returned to service, NGPL said. However, the actual in-service dates for each point may vary depending on the progress of the testing. See the bulletin board for a schedule of points being shut in and related transport restrictions.
