Southern Natural Gas is implementing an OFO Type 6 Thursday for short imbalances on its contiguous system. Tiered penalties of $1-15/Dth will be assessed for negative imbalances that exceed a threshold of 2% or 200 dekatherms. Penalties will not apply to long imbalances.

Northwest estimated Wednesday that it will be able to restore about 170,000 Dth/d of Green River delivery point capacity to CIG by Dec. 21. “Based on the nomination requests prior to the line failure, Northwest anticipates that this capacity should meet customers’ primary firm nomination requests, so the declared deficiency period will end at that time,” it added. Service at the interconnect with CIG was suspended following a Dec. 8 rupture on a Northwest lateral about 22 miles south of the Green River (WY) Compressor Station (see Daily GPI, Dec. 9). Northwest said it is working with CIG to develop a project plan for restoring the full design delivery capacity of 271,400 Dth/d.
