Columbia Gulf reported completion of repairs to a leak on its 20-inch offshore CNT Line upstream of the B side of the Eugene Island 250 platform. Operators were being allowed Wednesday to resume flow at eight meters — four where Columbia Gulf and Tennessee have connections at the same platforms and another four Tennessee meter locations that were affected when the leak was discovered last week (see Daily GPI, March 24).

El Paso said it has changed the order of maintenance on a Bondad Station turbine unit to better coincide with upstream interconnect maintenance. One Bondad turbine will be down for mechanical inspection on April 12 and April 14, with a total station outage occurring on April 13. Bondad capacity will be reduced from its base of 745 MMcf/d by 135 MMcf/d on April 12 and 14, and there will be zero flow on April 13.

Several pipelines are reminding shippers that due to the daylight savings time clock change slated for early Sunday morning, the April 2 gas day will be only 23 hours long and they should adjust their nominations accordingly.
