Northern Natural Gas canceled Wednesday a force majeure declaration related to a mechanical problem with the #26 engine at its Palmyra (NE) Compressor Station (see Daily GPI, Jan. 26). “Operations personnel working through the night returned the engine to service,” the pipeline said. Also, the Demarc allocation that had been implemented for Wednesday’s gas day was lifted beginning with the non-grid process, it added.

Columbia Gulf reported experiencing lower than normal mainline linepack on its mainline and said excessive takes above confirmed nominations at meters 4049, 4056 and 4117 had contributed to this situation. In order to reduce the possibility of a corrective OFO, shippers should limit takes to their confirmed nominations, it said. Any such OFO would apply particularly to those taking service at the above three meters under any transportation rate schedule, Columbia Gulf added.
