The Hess Corp.-operated Sea Robin Processing Plant was shut down unexpectedly Friday, Sea Robin Pipeline reported. The plant will continue to dehydrate gas during this outage, it added. The pipeline said that if any downstream pipeline operator declines to accept Sea Robin deliveries while the plant is down, it will notify shippers as soon as possible of the need to move their gas to other delivery points. It urged shippers to contact downstream point operators to see if they will be accepting gas from Sea Robin.

Work to maintain the integrity of Line SM-88 in Kanawha County, WV will begin Monday at 1:30 p.m. EDT and last about three weeks, Columbia Gas said. No service will be available at three delivery meter stations during this time.

Dominion said it is continuing maintenance on Pepper Station’s No. 2 unit and the project is now expected to continue at least through next Friday. Dominion previously had expected to finish about five days after the work began last Wednesday (see Daily GPI, Aug. 9). Production in bubbles 4202 and 4203 must remain shut in during this outage.

Maintenance projects will reduce North Mainline capacity by varying amounts during the Aug. 21-31 period, El Paso said. However, the only cut greater than 60 MMcf/d (Aug. 24) is the one of 225 MMcf/d set for Aug. 23.

Southern Natural Gas completed maintenance at the Bayou Postillion #2-Anson #2 meter station sooner than expected (see Daily GPI, Aug. 16). It canceled a force majeure associated with the work and resumed accepting nominations at the point effective with the Intraday 1 cycle Friday.
