Southern Natural Gas said it is experiencing receipts in excess of scheduled quantities and pipeline capacity west of the Bienville Compressor Station in North Louisiana, and that is threatening operational integrity. If the situation does not improve, Southern said, it will implement a Type 5 OFO for receipts in excess of scheduled quantities effective with the start of Saturday’s gas day until further notice.

Line 1600 maintenance between the Bowie and Oracle Stations has been completed, El Paso said Thursday, and a 630 MMcf/d reduction of capacity through the South Mainline High Pressure system was ended effective with Cycle 3 nominations Thursday and Cycle 1 nominations Friday.
