NGPL said its hydrostatic testing on the Amarillo Mainline #3 north and south of Station 195 in Washington County, KS is running into delays and is now expected to be completed Aug. 15 instead of this past Friday as previously scheduled. ITS/AOR and Secondary out-of-path services are unavailable in the affected area during this work. The pipeline also postponed a caliper pig run from Station 104 to Station on the Amarillo Mainline #3 from July 27-28 until Aug. 17. No impact on service is anticipated from this pig run.

In addition, NGPL reported experiencing an unexpected outage on one of two compressors Thursday evening at Station 812 in Atoka County, OK. Scheduled volumes for Friday’s gas day were not affected. However, effective Saturday until further notice, NGPL said it would be scheduling Segment 16 in its TexOk Zone at a reduced capacity. ITS/AOR and Secondary out-of-path services were at risk of being curtailed, but Primary Firm and Secondary in-path transportation should not be affected, NGPL said.
