CIG reported an outage at its compression facility serving deliveries to Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline at the Red Cloud Meter, which reduced the interconnnect’s available operating capacity from 255 MMcf/d to 170 MMcf/d effective with the Timely scheduling cycle for Wednesday’s gas day. Based on current repair projections, CIG anticipates that the compression will be back in service on June 13, when it plans to schedule full Red Cloud capacity for the June 14 gas day.

Gulf South said it expects to complete a portion of compressor piping installation on the Index 880-Mobile Bay Lateral segment by Thursday, allowing service to resume at seven Index 800 receipt points and two Index 880 delivery points. Gulf South anticipates that the maintenance will continue for approximately 21 days, during which the Gulfstream Natural Gas interconnect on Index 880 will be unavailable for service. All deliveries into Gulf South via Index 300 will be unavailable until the project is completed.

Transco said it has executed precedent agreements for 253,500 Dth/d of incremental firm transportation from Station 85 to delivery points on its Mobile Bay Lateral under the pipeline’s proposed Mobile Bay South Expansion Project. Expansion service is targeted to begin May 1, 2010. Transco expects to file an application at FERC for the project later this summer.
