Southern California Gas declared a high-linepack OFO for Thursday, saying it will assess Buy-Back charges in accordance with its rules and tariffs to customers who deliver into its system more than 110% of their actual gas usage on the OFO day.

The Pascagoula Gas Plant in coastal Mississippi is experiencing temporary operational problems that limits its ability to process gas, Destin Pipeline reported. Effective with Cycle 3 nominations for Wednesday’s gas day, Destin’s export line from Main Pass 260 to the plant became unavailable for transportation services. The alternative delivery point for offshore production during the plant downtime is Viosca Knoll Gathering System, Destin said. Because the plant indicated that normal operations will resume at 9 a.m Thursday, Destin was accepting nominations for transportation services to all onshore delivery points for Thursday’s gas day. Destin transportation services for onshore facilities are not affected by the plant outage.

Effective Thursday Northwest will begin cutting alternate gas through the Roosevelt Compressor Station to the extent that the pipeline can physically move balancing gas to replenish its Jackson Prairie storage balance. As previously communicated in an announcement of alternate capacity cuts at the Kemmerer Compressor Station (see Daily GPI, March 18), Northwest said it “is taking this action at this time in an attempt to avoid having to request primary firm shippers to leave space through Kemmerer during the summer months as Northwest had to do last year.”

Trunkline said a hydrotest of its Premont 100-1 line in South Texas between Gate Valves 9-1 and 10-1 had been completed, allowing three upstream meters that had been shut in by the work to resume flows Wednesday.

Tennessee reported completion of emergency repairs on the Solar turbine unit at Compressor Station 827 near Alexandria, LA, Wednesday.
