Sonat reported being informed that Enterprise Operating Partners LLC had experienced an unscheduled outage at its Toca 1 processing plant in southeast Louisiana, and the Toca 2 plant is currently unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. Based on the latest information received from Enterprise, Sonat said Tuesday, Toca 1 will return to service sometime Wednesday. The pipeline said its dehydration facilities were activated and it was blending the gas stream via storage withdrawals at TGP-Toca, but customers should expect to see a richer gas stream in the market area, primarily on the south system, over the next 48 to 96 hours. Because of the anticipated short duration of the plant outage and projected gas quality during that time, Sonat did not expect to issue a Hydrocarbon Dew Point Limitation Notice.

Noting that it will run a cleaning pig March 8 in the Arkoma Lateral (Segment 16 of Texok Zone-A/G), NGPL said that for that gas day, it will reduce scheduled volumes from BP-Red Oak and that the F&H-Latimer and Enogex-Latimer points will be unavailable.

Columbia Gulf said maintenance at Egan Hub Storage in South Louisiana had been completed and it resumed accepting nominations up to the full capacity of the Egan meter Tuesday.

El Paso said that as had been previously announced, it filed with the FERC to place the Strained Operating Condition and Critical Operating Condition (SOC/COC) provisions of its Order 637 settlement in effect Feb. 20. However, as of Friday it had not received an order approving implementation of the SOC/COC provisions, and thus implementation will be delayed until FERC approval is granted.
