Production from Dominion‘s “wet” gathering system that was being delivered off-system to Equitrans at the Copley and West Union interconnect meters must be shut in immediately, Dominion said shortly after the start of Wednesday’s gas day. “At this point, we do not know when deliveries can resume.” The pipeline has had mixed success in trying to move to Equitrans wet system gas upstream of Hastings (WV) Extraction Plant that was shut in after an Oct. 31 explosion and fire at the plant (see Daily GPI, Nov. 18).

Initial service on Duke Energy‘s Patriot Extension was postponed again. East Tennessee Natural Gas “is continuing to work diligently towards placement of the Patriot facilities into service,” according to an update Wednesday from parent firm Duke. “However, due to delays experienced this week, in part as a result of rainy weather conditions, service will not commence” Wednesday as recently posted (see Daily GPI, Nov. 18). “ETNG will post the in-service date when finalized and in time for customers to nominate on a day-ahead basis for first flow.”
