Southern California Gas declared a high-linepack OFO for Saturday, setting a 10% imbalance tolerance for excess deliveries into its system. When its storage injection capacity falls below 850 MMcf/d, confirmations of firm injection nominations will be reduced as outlined in the “Storage Injection Capacity Reductions” notice posted July 1, 2005 on its bulletin board, SoCalGas said.

Florida Gas Transmission ended Friday an Overage Alert Day that had been implemented Tuesday.

NGPL said Friday it had completed repairs of a compressor unit at Station 343 in Liberty County, TX and lifted the associated force majeure (see Daily GPI, May 12). Effective with Saturday’s gas day NGPL planned to schedule Segment 25 in its TexOk zone back to full capacity, but it said that depending on the level of nominations, ITS/AOR and Secondary Firm out-of-path transports will be at risk of not being fully scheduled. The pipeline also said gas quality problem was reported at the Noark-Lawrence and Ozark-White receipt points in Arkansas’ Lawrence County and White County respectively. Effective with Saturday’s gas day until further notice, the two points would be unavailable.

ANR said Friday it had completed the commissioning process of the 24-inch diameter offshore Louisiana line from Vermilion 397 to South Marsh Island MI 180 D and would immediately allow gas flow from approved locations; see the bulletin board for a list of those points. The South Marsh Island 136/137 A and Vermilion 379 locations were not approved to start flowing and must remain shut in, ANR said.

Maritimes & Northeast said Friday it had been informed by the operator of the Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) that an outage of SOEP processing facilities would actually begin during Saturday’s gas day instead of Sunday, the start date to which the shutdown had been changed a day earlier (see Daily GPI, May 12). The outage is still scheduled to last through May 20. Maritimes said the operator would be confirming a limited amount of supply from the facilities for Saturday’s gas day.

NOVA said it would complete maintenance Friday afternoon (May 12) on the Schrader Creek West Compressor Station and all IT service would be restored at affected receipt points at that time. The Bashaw Lateral (Spotted Creek, Bashaw A, Bashaw B and Lamerton meter stations) will remain restricted to 8% IT allowable, NOVA said.

Southern Natural Gas added Main Pass 313 Friday to a list of points upstream of its Toca (LA) Station that have been approved for flow under the pipeline’s repair process for facilities damaged by last year’s hurricanes.

Questar extended the construction required to repair anomalies on its ML 68 segment through Tuesday; it previously had expected to finish the work Saturday (see Daily GPI, May 12). Five points must remain shut in for the duration of the line work, and all other receipt points in the area remain subject to a 90,000 Dth/d limit through the Rifle scheduling point. Deliveries to TransColorado at MAP 297 were being accepted starting with Cycle 1 nominations for Saturday’s gas day, Questar said.
