Southern Natural Gas has restored service on all facilities that were forced to shut down because of damage last September from Hurricane Ivan. Over the course of Monday and Tuesday it announced the completion of repairs to the 12-inch Main Pass 144 lateral, the 18-inch Main Pass 306 lateral and the 24-inch Main Pass 289-298 line. It released the following receipt points from a force majeure and approved them for flow: Main Pass 133 C, Main Pass 123-Pogo, Main Pass 144 Chevron, Main Pass 306, Main Pass 288 Conoco, Main Pass 289-Main Pass 290 Shell and Main Pass 289 VKGC. An affiliated pipeline, Tennessee, still has about 14 MMcf/d in Ivan-related outages at two meters in the South Pass area, an El Paso Corp. spokesman said. Those meters are expected to be back online by the end of September.

Florida Gas Transmission said Tuesday current operating conditions at its Gulf South St. Helena/FGT interconnect in South Louisiana are resulting in no flow. Until the operational conditions change, FGT will not schedule gas at this interconnect, where it normally schedules up to 60,000 MMBtu/d.
