Pipeline affiliates Texas Eastern and Algonquin noted that while forecasts were for more seasonal conditions in their market areas over the weekend, they would continue to have limited operational flexibility. Texas Eastern said it would have limited due-shipper imbalance gas available Saturday, but not in the M-3 zone. It added that due-shipper gas in upstream zones could not be used to supply M-3 markets.

For about five days starting Feb. 2, Tennessee will take Line 3 between Main Line Valves 1 and 2 in South Texas out of service to perform an unexpected line replacement. Physical activity at the Agua Dulce meter will be suspended during this period, and although not anticipated, there may be some restriction on supplies pathed through Station 1.
