Texas Eastern asked Monday morning that all upstream supplies be shut in following a rupture on a lateral to a power plant near Plaquemine, LA about 20 miles south of Baton Rouge. The lateral is in the East Louisiana zone on the Venice Line between the Whitecastle Compressor Station and New Roads, LA. A spokesman said the pipeline expected to restore service at the rupture site later Monday.

An outage of Sonat‘s Logansport Field Line 43 in North Louisiana (see Daily GPI, Sept. 15) ended quickly. Sonat canceled a force majeure and resumed taking nominations at the Logansport Oxy R/S 4 receipt point Friday.
