Northwest lifted Friday a Stage II (8% imbalance tolerance) Overrun Entitlement for Receiving Parties north of the Kemmerer (WY) Compressor Station that had been implemented early this month (see Daily GPI, April 4). However, the pipeline cautioned customers that its deliverability capacity at the Jackson Prairie storage facility “remains very limited” at about 200,000 Dth/d. “Although Northwest has lifted the entitlement, Northwest is advising customers not to draft the system at this time. Failure to comply with this request may result in Northwest issuing customer-specific or systemwide overrun entitlements, which may occur on any day, including weekends,” it said.

ANR began unplanned engine repairs Friday at its Shelbyville (IN) Compressor Station along the Southeast Mainline. The work, which will run through May 2, reduced total Southeast Mainline capacity by 280 MMcf/d, leaving 1,005 MMcf/d available, ANR said. Based on current nominations, ANR anticipated that the reduction may result in the curtailment of IT and Firm Secondary nominations.

Columbia Gulf reported reactivating its onshore delivery point to Florida Gas Transmission in Lafayette Parish, LA (see Daily GPI, April 11). Columbia Gulf said it was accepting up to 200,000 Dth/d of Intraday 2 nominations at the point for Friday’s flow date.
