Southern California Gas declared a high-linepack OFO for Wednesday, saying it will assess Buy-Back charges in accordance with its rules and tariffs to customers who deliver into its system more than 110% of their actual gas usage.

Pacific Gas & Electric issued a systemwide Stage 2 high-inventory OFO for Wednesday. Penalties are $1/Dth for exceeding a 5% tolerance on positive daily imbalances.

Due to increased reservoir inventory at its Clay Basin storage facility, Questar reduced the injection capacity to 350,000 Dth/d effective Tuesday.

In its latest update on offshore facilities that remain shut in upstream of Toca Compressor Station in southeast Louisiana due to damage from Hurricane Ivan last September (see Daily GPI, June 9), Southern Natural Gas said it has been notified that third-party facilities upstream of Main Pass 293-Main Pass 306 Sun will not return to service, and therefore the pipeline plans to abandon its facilities at this receipt point. It provided these estimates of the possible dates by which other segments could resume operations: 24-inch Main Pass 289-298 line, July 9; 12-inch Main Pass 144 lateral, July 10; and 18-inch Main Pass 306 lateral, July 10. The in-service date for two remaining receipt points, Mississippi Canyon 20-BP and Main Pass 296 is dependent on third-party repairs, Southern said.

ANR is accepting bids through 11 a.m. CDT Thursday for gas that it intends to sell for system balancing purposes. The pipeline is interested in selling about 117,000 dekatherms in packages no larger than 4,000 Dth/d. Deliveries will begin July 1 and end July 31. See the bulletin board for details.
