Citing damages sustained from Hurricane Ike to its offshore Louisiana facility at Eugene Island 296, ANR declared a force majeure event and said it is not accepting receipt nominations from 10 meters (see the bulletin board for list).

Trunkline reported confirming pipeline integrity on its Terrebonne System from the T-25 (TriMars) platform to the Patterson (LA) Compressor Station and cleared eight offshore meters for flow Thursday.

Southern Natural Gas added seven meters Thursday that had been required to shut in due to hurricanes Gustav and/or Ike to a list of points that have been approved for flow resumption.

The Utah Division of Transportation has been improving the road near Questar‘s ML 80 segment approximately six miles south of the Clay Basin storage facility, the pipeline reported. Questar said it will have to reroute parts of ML 80 to accommodate the road improvements. To facilitate the work, ML 80 will be taken out of service Oct. 8-10, which will require Questar to reduce the ML 80 scheduling point capacity to 110,000 Dth/d for those days. Based on current nominations, this would reduce “primary to primary nominations” at this point by approximately 5%, Questar said, adding that it scheduled the work during Clay Basin shut-in testing in an effort to minimize impact to customers.

Southern California Gas regained 75 MMcf/d of storage injection capacity Thursday following the completion of maintenance projects at its Honor Ranch and Aliso Canyon facilities.

Columbia Gas said Line BM-74 near Kenova Compressor Station and Line HB on the discharge side of Hubball Compressor Station will be out of service for short pipeline replacements that are scheduled to be completed in one day next Tuesday. All interruptible production at a number of scheduling points (see the bulletin board for a list) will be shut in beginning at noon EDT Monday, Columbia said. Additionally, firm contracts using the affected points will be shut in beginning at 6 a.m. Tuesday.
