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

Rockies Express (REX) will be performing maintenance at Lost Creek Compressor Station Monday through Friday this week, during which capacity at the Lost Creek Wamsutter receipt point will be limited to 115,000 Dth/d.

Westcoast has scheduled an outage of both the A and B trains at its Pine River Gas Plant for Tuesday through Thursday to complete tie-ins for inlet gas and Sulfinol filtration systems. To ensure that all firm service customers have access to the plant’s gathering system, Westcoast will activate a 40% firm raw gas OPC constraint on those days. The constrained raw gas volume will be 225 MMcf/d (170 MMcf/d residue gas equivalent), Westcoast said.

To facilitate the installation of a compressor station at Taylor Junction, Alliance said it must make piping modifications that will require the shut-in of all upstream production. The work is scheduled for Aug. 12-13 and will affect eight receipt points.

Effective Aug. 1, Tennessee is setting a hydrocarbon dew point (HDP) limit of 20 degrees F “for the HDP Segments and all receipt meters located south of Station 1 (Agua Dulce, TX). This HDP limitation shall remain in effect for the entire month unless modified or terminated earlier by notice of Tennessee.” The pipeline said it is taking this action “to prevent anticipated hydrocarbon liquid fallout and to assure that gas will be accepted for delivery into interconnects, including within interstate or intrastate pipelines, storage facilities, end-users and local distribution companies.” A meter flowing 500 Dth/d or less that has gas with an HDP greater than 20 degrees will be granted a waiver of the HDP limit “so long as it is operationally feasible,” Tennessee said.
