Gulf South said Wednesday it was initiating unscheduled maintenance on Unit #2 at its Opelousas (LA) Compressor Station that would continue until further notice. Up to 125 MMcf/d of station capacity could be curtailed. Also, Gulf South will begin scheduled maintenance on its Bistineau (LA) Compressor Station’s Unit #3 Thursday that will last until further notice. Injections into Bistineau Storage could be affected as much as 125 MMcf/d during this project. All additional units at the Bistineau Compressor Station are available. And beginning next Tuesday at 7 a.m. CST and continuing for about 48 hours, Gulf South will perform scheduled maintenance on Index 8, its 12-inch line between Longview and Tyler in East Texas. The work constitutes a force majeure event and will affect Gulf South’s ability to provide service to 10 locations, the pipeline said. There are also five single farm taps that will be affected.
