Citing a high rate of unconfirmed transactions at Uinta Lateral delivery points, CIG said it has recently experienced a critical oversupply situation on that portion of its system, resulting in higher than appropriate mainline pressures that “have created problems receiving scheduled quantities of gas from the attached production areas.” In response, CIG declared a Strained Operating Condition for the Uinta and Parachute laterals that took effect Friday until further notice. See the bulletin board for SOC conditions.

NGPL shut in the Ozark-White receipt point in White County, AR Sunday morning because of a high oxygen content problem. Effective Monday until further notice, NGPL was not transporting gas from this point.

ANR reports being told by owners and/or operators of processing plants that serve its Southeast Area that based on their current analysis of processing economics for September, most will not process gas absent the issuance of a gas quality requirement by the pipeline. Thus ANR is establishing a hydrocarbon dew point limit of 25 degrees F. for receipts into the Southeast Area for Sept. 1-30. Gas with a higher hydrocarbon dew point that is located upstream of a processing plant must be processed.
