Texas Eastern reported experiencing a compressor unit outage Tuesday at its Entriken (PA) Compressor Station in Pennsylvania. As a result, Texas Eastern restricted all interruptible service through Perulack/Chambersburg for Wednesday’s gas day and said it will not allow any increases in receipts sourced upstream of Perulack/Chambersburg for delivery downstream of Perulack/Chambersburg except for no-notice services. “While this reduction in capacity to date has not resulted in any interruption of firm services, Texas Eastern will take this reduction into account as necessary in scheduling future gas flow,” the pipeline said.
