Noting unseasonably mild conditions being predicted in its market area for the upcoming weekend and several days thereafter, Transco said effective with Friday’s gas day until further notice it will not allow any excess storage injections under Rate Schedules WSS, WSS-OA or GSS, nor will it allow any due-pipeline imbalance paybacks. Also, pool tolerances were to be reduced to 1% starting with Evening Cycle nominations for Friday, and the pipeline is barring any incremental Park service quantities and the payback of any Loans under Rate Schedule PAL (Park and Loan).

A gas quality problem was reported at the Duke-Kerns #1-Caddo receipt point in Caddo County, OK, NGPL said. The point became unavailable Thursday until further notice.
