Gulf South said Saturday scheduled maintenance at its Bistineau Storage Facility in Bienville Parish, LA would continue for approximately four more days. Physical withdrawals are now available again, but physical injections will remain unavailable until the work is finished, Gulf South said. To the extent that firm service is interrupted during this period, Gulf South said it will claim force majeure for as long as service cannot be performed due to the maintenance.

Northwest has updated the schedule for the Moab District hydro-test that was originally scheduled to occur Sept. 12-16. To accommodate customer requests regarding weekend trading and nominations, the test has been reset for Sept. 14-18, during which operational capacity at the Pleasant View Compressor Station will be zero. If primary nominations exceed available capacity at the station, Northwest said, it will declare a deficiency period and cut nominations accordingly.

A gas quality issue was reported at the Enterprise-Carlsbad receipt point in Eddy County, NM, NGPL said Sunday. Shipper nominations were not affected Sunday, it said, but effective Monday until further notice, the point became unavailable.
